This great 13 page resource looks at the aims of the League of Nations and how it was organised. It also looks at how the League intended to enforce' collective security' and addresses the key issues of the weakness in administration and membership it's organisation. This resource include a range of resources from cartoon to diagrams as well as revision summary exercises and DART strategies for the less able. At the end of the resource are a series of comprehension and knowledge based OCR questions along with question guides and student mark schemes to help maximise your students' grade potential. These can be easily adapted to suit your own exam board's requirements. Typically, I will read this resource with highlighter with my class and then let them complete the revision and consolidation activities before attempting the assessment questions. After they have had a go at the questions, I normally issue them with purple pens to either peer or self assess their answers using the student mark schemes. This helps to reduce my marking whilst at the same time reinforcing their understanding of the assessment criteria. Have fun! Kind Regards Roy

If you are looking for a fun, interactive revision game on the Cold War that can be used as a starter or plenary then this resource for you. It particularly good at injecting a bit of competition which will draw in some of those under achieving students, especially the boys who might be very good at learning key facts via a game. These revision cards cover the key factors that you will need to know for the Cold War 1945 - 1962. They can also be used by students as revision flash cards. I’ve provided them in word so you can easily adapt them for your own classes. There are three main ways that you can use them. Game 1 involves getting students to read out the key words until the other guesses the topic correctly. Game 2 involves additional challenge and stretch by getting students to describe the topic without using any of the key words on the card. The third game, which adds an additional layer of fun or challenge involves playing a round of Pictionary or Charades. I normally give my students 3 minutes of each round to help activate the learning and warm up the class. You could also have a freestyle round where students decide which game they want to play linked to their learning style. If you are trying to engage some under achieving boys, add some competition and get them to keep score in the back of their books. I would recommend printing them off on card and getting your students to cut them out. Then put the cards into an envelope for class use. If you are a student then keep them in your pocket and use them as a flash card to help you learn the key facts, If there is a term that you do not understand then as your teacher or do some extra research. From a revision perspective, you can print off the cards and get your students to learn the key words for a test or for their exams. These are a win, win resource.

This outstanding lesson has been designed to help students assess the causes of the English Civil War by evaluating the decisions made by James and Charles I and how they affected their popularity. This popular lesson has been repeatedly graded as outstanding by Ofsted, LEA Consultants and SLT as it’s a fun and engaging way to develop students critical higher order thinking skills. This lesson is suitable for the full ability range. Once students have worked their way through a selection of starters that you can chose from, they complete the living graph or continuum exercise. They can then colour code the information cards as either economic, religious or political causes. This is then consolidated by a thinking skills review triangle activity to decide which factor was the most important. Once these tasks have been completed, the final result could be used for an assessment or for an extended writing task. When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a two page word document which contains the information cards and a twelve slide PowerPoint. The PowerPoint is designed to help facilitate the lesson and contains aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, templates, tasks and activities. I have also included a lesson plan. Ideally, the continuum should be printed on A3 paper. For more detailed information, please see the detailed preview. The aims and objectives of this lesson are: Theme: Causes of the English Civil War Know: Why did James and Charles I become increasingly unpopular over time? Understand: What roles did politics, economics and religion play in causing the Civil War? Evaluate: Which factor was the most important? Skills: Cause, Consequence, Change & Continuity. WILF - What Am I Looking For? Identify and describe: Why did James and Charles I fall out with Parliament? Explain: What roles did politics, economics and religion play in causing the Civil War? Analyse: Which factor was the most important?
