This lesson contains an information pack with resources taken from a range of websites and also the Newcastle University resource pack which you can google or search for on the TES. There are links to Oh! What a lovely War! Silent Night (German version) and also the Sainsburys Advert. Unfortunately you will have to search on youtube for these as I was unable to upload a macro enabled PP.

Used in an assembly for KS3 students but could also work for KS4. Link to BBC brain games on a slide.

KS3 Yr7 - Students investigate whether there was more to the Vikings than just violence. First part of the lesson is set up to investigate why they were violent, including an inference activity. Followed by a carousel in which students fill in the different activities on the A3 worksheet using the worksheets. Students then use this information to create their own extended hypthothesis. A lesson on interpretations would then ideally follow this lesson. Can be used as part of a “raiders and invaders” unit.

Lesson which looks at the importance of Harvey in Renaissance medicine. Starter asks students to draw comparisons with Vesalius and Sydenham. Students then watch a short video which explains Harvey’s work, before “playing” fastest team first in which they compete againt each other to complete a series of questions. Students then recall this information individually to ensure knowledge retention. Then discuss the factors linked with Harvey. Will need the Edexcel medicine through time book for the information (although answers are provided on the powerpoint to the questions). This lesson lasts around 75 minutes.

This lesson focuses on an overview of life in the middle ages and how this impacted upon the understanding of disease. It covers religious and supernatural causes of illness. The lesson is linked to the Edexcel 9-1 Medicine unit.

This is a mini series of lessons (which feeds into a wider enquiry about power struggles). Each lesson is fully resourced and has a wide range of activities. Lesson One: What were the causes of the French Revolution? Full resourced lesson. Students investigate the 3 estates and then use sources to categorise causes of the French Revolution (new ideas, social, economic and political). Lesson Two: What were the key events of the French Revolution? Students analyse the significance of key events, before reaching a judgement as to which was the most significant, using Christine Counsell’s significance criteria. Students then consider the importance of the Rights of Man. **Lesson Three: **Was the Terror justified. This is a sources, story and scholarship lesson (I produced the resource).

Students examine what the key battles of WW1 were, conditions in the trenches and soldiers experiences in order to help understand how medicine was able to to develop. Starter - group activity in which students recreate an image of the trenches from memory. Clip from War Horse (trench scene which shows soldiers going over to top). What potential links to medicine/problems can you see from this scene? Students discuss. Overview of the unit linked to edexcel. Carousel of information, in which students then complete the A3 sheet to provide an overview of the Western front

This is the first lesson on the American Civil War - later lessons look at the Reconstruction Period. It is part of a wider enquiry that looks at power struggles. The lesson is fully resourced and ready to go!

Revision activities for the Volga Vikings. Topic on a page (A3) Activities linked to each of the topics within the unit. It would be useful to have the OCR SHP B textbook for students to find missing answers, but this is not essential (as long as you know what the answers are!)

Why did people care about Hippocates and Galen in the Middle Ages? Lesson 3. Edexcel GCSE Medicine through Time lesson three. Students have a knowledge test at the beginning which covers the previous lesson (answers included on PP). Overview of Galen/Hippocrates Students diagnose patients using information about the four humours, symptoms and treatments, based on the patient cards stating what is wrong with them. Students then create mindmaps to explain why Galen’s ideas were still accepted in the middle ages. I printed off in colour and laminated the patient cards - the activity worked really nicely and my class enjoyed it.

75-100 minute revision lesson, focused around ideas about the causes of disease 1250-present day. Linked to the edexcel medicine course (with the exam question at the end) but content can be used for all. The worksheet is A3 sized, so you won’t have lots of printing! You will need access to textbooks or revision print outs for the table activity towards the end, but I have used a variety of textbooks or information sheets - there is not particular “set” that matches the activity.

What can we learn from an oyster? Look at how pearls are made - then move onto other determined people such as Nathan Stephens. Can also download a clip from Channel 4 (youtube) which is a short clip about him being an inspirational figure. Ends with looking at how we can be determined in our own lives.

Made links to Dumbo - where the other elephants laugh at his ears and the final clip where Dumbo helps everyone out. Also played the 'i think I can' video at the end as students were leaving.

Made for the Edexcel IGCSE - links to the videos are embedded into the PP or links provided. I printed the clues out for the students to work through.

This was made for the Edexcel IGCSE - however the content can be used for enquires into the position of Black Americans in the 1920s. The song used at the beginning is Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit

Students plan and deliver their own lessons. Exam technique is for IGCSE

Women's movement in US. Divided Union IGCSE

Revision activities for edexcel GCSE.

May need to download the Paulinus activity from thinking history, for the reason cards.

With many more students now using email and technology to communicate with staff, this assembly looks at the appropriate way to send an email. This was really positive with my Yr9s and has resulting in improved email communication amongst staff.

SOW delivered during tutor time. Students asked to consider various questions about whether our celebrity culture is damaging young peoples aspirations, does famous mean successful and foster their own opinions on what success means.
