BBC Teach – Class Clips - Viking Ships - Worksheet to support the Neil Oliver clip
Travelling by water was an important part of Viking culture as it transported them overseas to distant lands as both invaders and as settlers.
Neil Oliver travels to Oslo to find out how the Vikings’ skills as shipbuilders and sailors enabled them to travel so far from their homeland.
Here, a close look at the famous Oseburg Ship reveals the extraordinary craftsmanship of the Vikings.
Out at sea, on a replica of a Viking boat, he learns how they used the sun to navigate their way across the open sea, and in Russia he discovers how the Vikings overcame rapids and ice to travel up its mighty rivers to trade in the East.
He finds evidence of an ancient settlement in Iceland from where Viking explorers embarked on journeys even further West, to become the first Europeans to discover North America.

BBC Teach - Kitchener, recruitment and patriotism in WW1 - History - Britain's Great War
Worksheet to support the Paxman BBC Great War video extract
Jeremy Paxman introduces Lord Kitchener’s iconic patriotic recruitment campaign and tells us about the Pals regiments, which were formed of men from one local area or of the same profession.
Lord Kitchener was Britain’s most famous living soldier in 1914, and newly appointed Minister of War. He launched a poster campaign on a huge scale, to persuade men to volunteer to fight.
We see what the posters looked like, and hear about the different ways they encouraged men to sign up, inciting duty, fear of invasion and guilt. We see contemporary footage of public recruiting events, and hear how a patriotic mood swept the nation, causing men to enlist at unprecedented speed and scale.

BBC Teach - Edward I, the Welsh and the Scots - Worksheet to support the Bartlett extract
Professor Robert Bartlett details Edward I’s expansionist designs on Wales, and his defeat of the two princes of Gwynedd, Llewellyn and Dafydd, in 1282. Edward’s chain of castles to consolidate control over his new territory are shown on a map. In Scotland, the failure of Edward’s plan to take control by exploiting the Scottish Succession Crisis is explained. His selection of John Balliol as a subordinate Scottish king, and subsequent invasion of Scotland when John showed independence is discussed. We hear about how Scottish resistance to English rule was strong, and discuss the leadership qualities of William Wallace, with images of many of the Scottish borderlands where battles were fought. The strategic use of Stirling Bridge by the Scots to defeat the English is shown in detail. The role of the Plantagenet failure to subdue the Scots in creating Scottish national identity is considered.
This clip is from the BBC series The Plantagenets. Professor Robert Bartlett tells the story of the Plantagenets, England’s longest ruling dynasty. Fifteen kings from this one family dominated the nation for 331 years between the 12th and 15th Centuries, shaping the country’s politics and culture. Their story is one of conflict, brutality and intrigue, but also the birth of Parliament and a system of justice through the Magna Carta. The dynasty ended with decades of Civil War that tore the family apart.

BBC - Lucy Worsley Investigates - The Princes in The Tower
What really happened to the princes in the tower? Lucy Worsley uncovers the story of the two boys, whose disappearance in 1483 has led to centuries of mystery and speculation.
The two princes, Edward and Richard, lived during the Wars of the Roses, a decades-long fight over the English throne between the house of Lancaster and the house of York. Edward IV, the boys’ father, was the first Yorkist King. His eldest son, Edward, was destined to inherit the throne - and this fact entirely shaped his young life.
Edward was just 12 when his father King Edward IV died, and his age meant he wasn’t considered ready to rule. Edward IV had appointed his brother Richard to be the young King’s protector, but not everyone was happy with this arrangement. What followed was a tussle for control between Richard and the Queen’s family, the Woodvilles.
The princes were taken to the Tower of London ‘for their own protection’, but when a priest declared the boys illegitimate and Richard next in line to the throne, Richard was crowned King.
The gaps in the historical record have fuelled 500 years of speculation, so Lucy speaks to Tim Thornton, Professor of History at the University of Huddersfield, who has found evidence of one account of what happened written by Thomas More; and Matthew Lewis, Chair of the Richard III Society for his views on the events.
The enduring story of the Princes in the Tower not only reveals fascinating insights about childhood, and the nature of politics and power in mediaeval England, but how the interpretations of events are never fixed, with new evidence ensuring this story continues to fascinate.

EDEXCEL 9-1 GCSE HISTORY. Topics on a Page - The American West
These resources provide students with a 'TOPIC ON A PAGE’ summary for the component units of the EDEXCEL GCSE HISTORY. AMERICAN WEST
Topic 1 - The early settlement of the West, C1835 - 1862
Topic 2 - Development of the Plains, c1862 - 1876
Topic 3 - Conflicts & Conquest, c1876 - 1895
They fully cover the syllabus content for each topic and can be used by students and teachers to:
a) consolidate knowledge and understanding to encourage student mastery (embedding academic language and concepts) after students have completed a topic in class or as a homework task, helping them identify areas of strengths and weaknesses
b) as a quick starter activity to review prior learning or weeks/months later as a spaced retrieval practice task. I regularly take sections from the placemats and use them to support spiralled learning.
c) to encourage relevant exam responses - specifically targeting the themes of explaining the cause of illness, methods of prevention, treatments, care of the sick, public health, important individuals and factors effecting change.
d) the question squares can be completed and then cut up into cards to form KAGAN Quiz/Quiz Trade Question and Answer Cards
e) as a useful revision aid before the final exam. (Many of my Year 11 students rely on these sheets in the final weeks and days of revision and have commented that they have helped make factual recall of the huge volume of the syllabus content more achievable.
The resource includes prompt pictures to appeal to visual learners and can be used as a standalone resource or in conjunction with the Edexcel Pearson Revision Guide, where all of the answers can be found. This resource can also be used in conjunction with the topic placemats that I have produced to support students in lessons. The first box contains the same summary picture for the whole topic. In particular, I have successfully used the TOPIC ON A PAGE summaries with the ‘EXAM TECHNIQUE’ side of the placemats so when students are given exam questions, they can quickly find relevant supporting knowledge to use in a response. I have used this resource successfully with students targeted Levels 4 - 9. It could be easily adapted for students working on or below L3. The ‘fill in the gaps’ prompts can be removed for higher ability students.
