Resources relating to the AQA 9-1 GCSE Option ‘Russia, 1894-1945’. Included is 2-3 lessons’ worth of activities tackling the economic policies of Lenin (War Communism & NEP) and the social impact of each. The PowerPoint includes teaching information, copies of the worksheets, sources and videos (where relevant). There are also practice exam questions included in the slide (usually 1-2 per topic). This is part of a larger bundle covering the entire unit, which can be purchased from my shop. This resource was originally designed for OneNote teaching; however, it can easily be adapted to exercise book teaching in under 5mins. Simply change the phrase ‘in OneNote’ to ‘in your exercise books’ on the PowerPoint. The ‘Understanding the Modern World’ course textbook from Hodder is needed to access some of the activities (however, alternatives can no doubt be found).

A Level handouts and activities relating to Elizabeth I and her religious policies. Included are blank templates for mind maps on religion as well as detailed handouts covering her settlement. See also my resources on religious opposition and on other aspects of her reign. These will be useful for students studying Elizabeth's reign on all exam boards, particularly for AQA's Triumph of Elizabeth module and OCR's Later Tudors topic. Please rate and comment, as all feedback is appreciated.

A handout on the Northern Rebellion and a map that plots the route taken by the rebels. This is useful material for all students covering the Later Tudor period and Elizabeth I, for instance the Triumph of Elizabeth AQA module. Please rate and comment, as all feedback is appreciated.

Materials relating to the Russian Dumas and political reform following the October Revolution. These will be useful for A Level students studying the Russian Revolution across all exam boards.

A number of worksheets (ideal for classwork or homework) relating to weather and climate. These are designed to be used alongside the Geog.2 text book, but can also be used independently. Included are worksheets on measuring weather, air pressure and basic fieldwork. Please rate and comment, as all feedback is appreciated.

A worksheet for anyone studying peacemaking and the League of Nations. This corresponds to the current AQA GCSE History B specification, however it can also be adapted for any board or age level. This activity gives students a list of points that they have to put under the correct leader: Wilson, Clemenceau or Lloyd George. Answers are also provided. Please rate and leave feedback! Also, please check out my other resources on this topic.

KS3 assessment material on Cromwell, including a source sheet, instructions for pupils and a marking grid. Also included is an analysis/evaluation template that is useful to get the class started on the assessment. I usually go through one of the sources in class and fill in the grid in the lesson, then have the group turn it into an essay along with the rest of the sources. Can be differentiated by reducing the number of sources to 3 or by adding more descriptions to the material. Alternatively, for high achievers you could encourage them to find similarities/differences between the sources and add these in to the essay.

A revision worksheet and matching gap fill for anyone studying peacemaking and the League of Nations. This corresponds to the current AQA GCSE History B specification, however it can also be adapted for any board or age level. Please rate and leave feedback!

Resources to be used as part of a Year 7 Geography lesson on flooding/flood defences. Small groups of students are each given a card with a reason for flooding; they must explain in their groups why that factor may increase/decrease the risk of flooding (then rotate the cards and feedback as a class). I have included an information sheet to be given out alongside this (can easily be turned into a gap fill!) Also included is a PowerPoint presentation with the different types of flood defences. Students can complete a comparison table of each defence based on its cost, lifespan, appearance etc. and rank the defences.

A short, 10 minute key words test for students learning about rivers and the water cycle. This was used for a Year 7 lesson; however, it could easily be adapted for any KS3 scheme of work or even GCSE! The key terms for this topic are numerous and these are just a selection of some of the ones that students find tricky. Great as a starter or for homework.

Various resources from a Year 8 topic on Coasts (but could be adapted for any KS3 Geography class). Included are PowerPoint presentations (with diagrams, photos, links to animations and questions) on landforms created by erosion/deposition. Also included are two worksheets: the first is a quick starter where students need to match up the processes of erosion with the description; the second is a homework task on erosion, where students have to provide longer responses.

A basic worksheet with the key interfaces in a table. Students have to define an interface and then fill in the table with the advantages/disadvantages/description of each type of interface. This worksheet could then be used as a revision aid as students move closer to the exam. This worksheet was designed for the CIE iGCSE ICT specification; however, it would be appropriate for other exam boards that feature a topic on interfaces.

A short 20 mark assessment for the CIE iGCSE ICT specification. Questions have all been previously included on CIE papers. This would be ideal for an end of unit assessment to test students' knowledge of the different types of computers/printers. Mark schemes can be found on the CIE website; however, all of the questions are relatively straight forward.

A short 20-mark assessment that is designed for the CIE iGCSE ICT specification. All questions test students' knowledge of Units 2 and 3, so this would be great to use as a half-term assessment or revision exercise. All questions have featured on past CIE papers (to which the content is credited). All mark schemes for the questions can be found on the CIE website; however, the questions are relatively straightforward and can be marked without a mark scheme.

A basic worksheet that introduces the difference between Bluetooth and WiFi. This is designed for GCSE/iGCSE topics on Networks; however, it could certainly be used for KS3. Students are presented with a table of specifications for Bluetooth and WiFi connections and have to assess the strengths and weaknesses of each one. More able students are then encouraged to think of situations/scenarios where each method of connection would be appropriate.

Included here are three resources relevant to the changing scope of the European witch craze, geographically and chronologically. I have included the original data for the graph that shows the number of executions, which is taken from the Access to History text book. The blank axis can be used to get students to plot the changing severity of the witch craze in England, Germany and America (the case studies for the OCR unit). The Access to History text book is necessary to complete these worksheets. These resources will need to be used alongside other worksheets and activities. This resource is intended to be used as part of a much larger bundle for this unit. See my shop for more details.

Two resources to be used alongside other worksheets on the causes of the witchcraze. The first is a list of several causes that have been put forward for the witch hunts. Students will each take one and try to explain it on paper, the cards will then rotate around. Students can rank the causes by how convincing they find the explanations. Secondly is a summary table of the causes for witch hunting. Using the activity above, students can fill in their tables. This content is relevant for the new OCR unit on Popular Culture and the Witch Craze. This resource is intended to be used as part of a much larger bundle for this unit. See my shop for more details.

An information sheet designed for GCSE/iGCSE units on confidentiality/data security (Unit 8 of CIE iGCSE). Students have to answer basic questions on passwords and encryption, before being presented with authentication methods used for computers. This would be an excellent resource for revision of these topics.

A fun activity to get students used to inputting data into allocated cells. Students will follow the instructions to add words to different cells on a blank Excel spreadsheet. At the end of the task, the words will come together to form a riddle (Answer: Clock). Students then have to email their answers to the teacher (teachers must insert their email address on to the worksheet), which helps them to repeat this key skill. Students who finish quickly could create their own sheets, using riddles from the internet or ones they have created themselves.

A card sort activity for the iGCSE CIE ICT topic on ATMs (Computers and Banking). Students are given the steps of putting a debit card into an ATM to withdraw cash. Presented on the sheet is the correct order of the steps. Teachers should print this off as the answer sheet and print additional copies to be cut up. Students then have to sort the instructions into the correct order.
