This is the 2016-17 Scheme of work which has been produced for Y8. The lessons I plan and sell on here correspond perfectly with the SOW. This is a SOW which has been honed, changed and improved over my years of teaching. The SOW offers a week by week breakdown (using 2016/17 dates) of each lesson (based on a 2 lesson a week average). It is easy and comprehensive for the non specialists to use and works well for us keeping track as we have many split classes in lower school. Suggested homeworks included and a column to enter the annual data collections can be added which can make planning assessments easier. Lessons for this SOW can be bought in bulk as well as individually. Please message me any requests if I havent yet uploaded any units and I will endeavour to upload them ASAP.

This lesson has been created for KS3 students and covers life in Medieval England. The purpose of the lesson is to get students to consider how life could be viewed as both healthy and unhealthy in Medieval England using source statements. Students initially search for Medieval public health features within a ‘Wheres Wally style activity’. Students then plot on a living graph using statements to guide them in pairs. Finally students apply their learning by writing a section of a 12 mark style question (AQA) using the sentence scaffolds provided to coach pupils into using accurate exam technique. All accompanying resources included and suggested learning outcomes provided with space for you to add your own accompanying grades. I teach this lesson in full to my higher ability Y7 students (and reduce the number of statements to differentiate for my lower ability students). I have been graded ‘Outstanding’ in observation with this lesson also. I really hope you enjoy teaching this lesson as much as I do!
