Hi Here is a lesson investigating the death of Emily Davison and students through multiple sources decide for themselves if she was an accident or martyr. The source sheets I cut up and put in to envelopes so that each pair/small group has a pack of evidence to work through. Most of this is just polished up and updated. It includes a differentiated work sheet for LAP. It has used some old resources from other authors and I thank them for their contribution.

Here is lesson 3 for Jack the RIpper. Year 8. The lesson has an extended alternate task for top set classes. The reading sheet is within the Power Point file.

Here is a lesson as part of a study for Year 9 of key events from the Cold War. For average and more able there is a reading comprehension task, for weaker groups a storyboard. The reading is a combination of History.com and a BBC article. I have also attached at the end of the Powerpoint a slide of information I found in another users lesson which might be useful for the weaker ones too. At the end we look at plots to kill Castro as part of Operation Mongoose. For a longer lesson you could have some fun planning your own attempts. A few slides and bits are taken from other peoples resources, thank you for your contributions.

Hi This lesson is about Frank Bright a Jewish man who lives near Ipswich (UK) and survived the ghettos and death camps of the Nazi regime. His story is important and sharing it keeps his experience alive for us to learn from. The class mates cards are simply cut out and one is placed under each child’s book. When we get to the relevant slide they come up and find their person and then as a class we discuss what happened to them and consider what would it be like if it was their class now. I hope that Mr Bright does not mind me sharing his story, from my research on him he seems very keen for his story to keep being told. I also thank those History teachers who first reached out and researched his life to benefit the rest of us.

This lesson focuses on life as a slave and how sugar plantations were controlled. By the end students should be able to compare the plantation hierarchy to the feudal system.
