Students use pictures and information from a textbook to explore Benidorm. There is also a maths task which students could complete for cross-curricula links.
Students explore the stereotype of the witch and attempt to guess which characters would have been accused of witchcraft. Comments are appreciated. This was taught as a 30 minute lesson.
In this lesson students use a variety of text and picture sources to draw conclusions about working conditions. Students should be selecting evidence from the sources to back up their points. A creative writing activity is used to end the lesson. Comments are appreciated.
Students take a class vote to decide which tourist attraction is their favourite and produce a bar graph. I used some youtube clips to demonstrate certain places. Graph paper would help too!
Students use maps and sources to explore the damage caused to Brighton during WWII. Works best if this is used as a local study but could be used up and down the country. Comments are appreciated.
This lessons explores the idea of a stereotype based on guidance from the IWM. Students develop an understanding of some of the people involved in the Holocaust. Comments are appreciated.
Students explore the life of Joseph Mengele, The Angel of Death. They use song lyrics and information to develop their understanding. Comments are appreciated.
Students explore the concept of the package holiday from its origins to the present the day. They finally plan some holidays for some well known TV families. Comments are appreciated.
Students use resources to plan and write a story about working in a factor. This lesson works best having spent some time with sources from the period (see other resources posted). Students are encouraged to use a range of adjectives and end with peer assessment. Minds and Machines is the textbook used. Comments are appreciated.
Students explore the treatments and beliefs at the time of the Black Death using sources, a video clip and a textbook. My classroom is equipped with both the white Dawson textbooks and the brown Edexcel version. You can adapt page numbers to suit your own. Comments are appreciated.
This lesson was planned for Y8 students sitting the Common Entrance exam. It was designed to revise BOTH the Black Death and Great Plague of London. It asks students to pitch which of the plagues should be featured in an empty gallery in the Museum of London. This lesson works really well as students think about wider consequences which could also lead to discussion and research into increased freedoms after the Black Death etc. This lesson could be easily adapted to suit GCSE teaching of the History of Medicine. My students supplements the information sheet with relevant textbooks in my room. In the next lesson students used a past paper question to demonstrate their knowledge. Enjoy!
This lesson explores the reasons for America withdrawal by assessing the tactics used by both sides. Paired and group work takes up the bulk of the lesson. The main poster task can be interpreted in different ways but I use playmobil and props to allow students to get around the imposed word restriction. Examples of this task are shown in the powerpoint to help you visualise this! Comments are appreciated. :-)
