Defending a Castle

Defending a Castle

(4)
A well presented lesson on the defensive features of Medieval castles created for KS3 history students on Microsoft Powerpoint A little about the lesson Students are encouraged to design their own castle and its defences. Students are provided with a king-sized budget and challenged to research and to buy the latest medieval castle defences. Students must therefore consider effectiveness against budget. When considering castle defences students are challenged to use prior knowledge on the most effective and damaging methods of attack. This is a lesson that excites students and really engages them in their learning. Take it a step further and challenge groups to ‘duel off’ against each others castles. Whats included? A whole 1 hour lesson powerpoint is included (there are teacher notes also under some slides). Student worksheets/resources are included in hidden slides in the relevant points of the presentation and also as an additional Powerpoint for ease of printing. Homework, Learning Objectives and outcomes have also been completed in this resource, however, they can easily be tweaked to suit the needs and ability of your classes. Keep an eye out for more new and updated lessons in my store and my weekly tutor time quizzes!

Queen Elizabeth II

Queen Elizabeth II

(2)
I have quickly put together this resource to commemorate the life of Queen Elizabeth II. The intention of this resource is solely to share and discuss the Queens significant passing with tutor groups using this powerpoint and get students sharing their thoughts and feelings. The powerpoint covers a brief overview of the Queens early life up until her ascension and then looks at some of her successes and achievements as monarch. I have also included a link to CBBC Newsround at the end of the powerpoint as they have currently a video covering the Queens reign and news of her passing. The resource was created with secondary students in mind, however, that is not to say the content is not appropriate for younger audiences - the language may be a little tricky though. I hope this is helpful
