Simply change the phrase ‘in OneNote’ to ‘in your exercise books’ on the PowerPoint. Both the course textbooks from Hodder and Oxford/Pearson are needed to access some of the activities (however, alternatives can no doubt be found).

Handouts and timelines relating to the 1917 Revolution in Russia. Material covers the February Revolution, Kornilov Affair, Provisional Government and the October Revolution. This would be suitable for all A Level candidates studying the Russian Revolution across all exam boards. Please rate and comment, as all feedback is appreciated.

The display consists of several heads of historical figures in a line across the board; however, each head is positioned at the actual height they would have stood (5ft 5in, 6ft 2in etc.) Students love walking past and measuring themselves against Hitler, Queen Victoria etc. Included are several Historical heads, the names/heights, titles and a key for the side of the display. All that is needed are coloured strips that run vertically from the bottom of the display to the relevant head (see link). I used the coloured border rolls for these! Enjoy!

A selection of materials for Tsarist Russia that can be used/adapted for the new specification. Materials focus on Alexander II to Nicholas II (1855-1917). This can be used for all exam boards.

A set of 22 revision dominoes for the OCR Later Tudors course. Can also be used for any course covering the Mid Tudor Crisis and reign of Elizabeth I. Really useful as a starter activity - hand one domino to each pupil and have them read out the date, the pupil with the corresponding event reads this out and then reads out their date. This should start a chain reaction around the room. My class always want to beat their time! this should start a chain reaction around the room. My class always want to beat their time! There are lots more dates and events that can be added; however, this is a useful starting point.

A detailed History Handbook that can easily be tweaked to suit your school's Department. Included is information on relevant policies and I have highlighted in red the things that will need to be tweaked/filled in to make this document relevant to your school. This is an extensive document (30 pages, hence the price) that took a long time to put together. I have left in marking grids and SOW that I feel could be useful. I hope this is helpful!

Included are various resources relating to microclimates that formed part of our field work in Year 7 Geography. Students review how to measure the weather, are introduced to microclimates and then label a diagram. Other resources are for use on the day of the field work, where students walk around the school grounds to pre-determined location to measure the weather; they then think about land use and make decisions. I have also included an 'Exploring Microclimates' PDF provided by School Grounds UK/Learning Through Landscapes. This gives instructions on how to carry out microclimate field work.

Resources relating to a Year 7 Geography lesson on sketch maps. Included alongside the lesson plan is a PowerPoint presentation. Students have to review the features of a map using the coloured pages in their books and sketch maps are then introduced. As an activity/homework, students create their own sketch maps of a theme park, adding in various symbols and making it visually appealing/informative. I printed off a couple of maps of Alton Towers/Thorpe Park to pass around the class (as shown on the PowerPoint), so students could see the level of detail (or lack of it) they needed.

Two resources for teaching the Second Dutch War as part of the new AQA GCSE topic, Restoration England: 1660-1685.

Also included is an in-depth look at the Medway disaster. The handout covers the causes, events and results of the raid; a clear map has also been included to aid students (source: WikiCommons). This resource is intended for revision (it is much simpler to follow than the text book); however, it could also form the basis of a lesson activity. Students could answer questions on the content and stick the sheet into their books.

This resource was designed for the new AQA History GCSE unit: Restoration England, 1660-1685; however, it would be suitable for any topic on classical/baroque architecture. All images have been sourced from WikiCommons and are Open Access files. Students can be given the set of images at the beginning of the lesson and must separate them into two piles without any prior knowledge (one interior and three exterior per style). The teacher can then go through the PowerPoint explaining the differences between the two styles, before the students rearrange their images based on this new knowledge. They can then stick these on to two pages in their books with the comparison table, labelling the key features on the photos.

Two activities to run alongside the OCR or Edexcel Textbooks on the witch craze. This is designed specifically for the A Level Topic: Popular Culture and the Witchcraze of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries from OCR. Students can read the text book (and read around the topic), adding detail to their family tree. What were the relationships? Who were the characters? What happened to each of the accused witches? They can also fill in the timeline using the information from the text book and other sources. This resource is intended to supplement other resources on the Lancashire Witch Trials.

This worksheet is intended for use with the OCR unit: Popular Culture and the Witchcraze; however, it could be adapted to suit any A Level exam board.

Individual cases are cited as well as key dates.

Various resources to aid A Level (or GCSE) teaching of the East Anglian Witchcraze. This was designed for the OCR Unit 3 topic: Popular Culture and the Witchcraze of the 16th and 17th Centuries.
