We all know what an elevator pitch is. Here I have adapted them to History. But you have bought the original so do what you will ;) Have your students complete one as an activity, starter, plenary or even a homework. Here are various worksheets and handouts in A5 and A4 format for them to complete. The Powerpoint explains it all. Have fun!

You can use the cube as a learning, selection and revision tool. Why not put simple facts on each side? Why not write out key analytical terms to use in your essay? How about putting six individuals that link to one theme?

Photograph your Exam Hall This is a simple revision technique that links the exam hall space with key information for the exam. Simply take a photo of the exam hall, insert it into a PowerPoint and then add key facts or terms into shapes or word boxes. When a student sits there exam they can look up and recall those terms. @teacherstevo

This is a sample PPTx file which I used to have students do research on a topic so they could share basic facts with their classmates. Also a good revision tool.

The elevator pitch concept is quite simple and there are examples o them online. Can your students apply the concept to a historical figure, event, invention, era or literally anything to do with History. In this FREE version, there is one worksheet and the basic concept. In the PAID version there are several worksheets and you also have the original file that you can use.

The handout is useful for students to have KEY TERMS in their books The poster allows you to refer to them in the classroom Word searches are there as a simple activity to complete. PAID Version gives you more word searches in PDF and DOCX format and the Historical Skills Poster in PPTX, which can be edited to suit your curriculum. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/historical-skills-word-searches-and-posters-key-terms-11716727

This is an American Football inspired two-minute PPT countdown During practice, the team works out a plan for the last two minutes of the half or game. Everyone knows what to do.There is little communication, as everyone knows their task. You can use the two-minute drill to focus the students for two-minutes or have them tidy up.

What if they had the Internet in the Past? Think about what problems could have been solved with knowledge and quick communication. Think about issues that could have been made much worse with the internet back then. Create your own Historical Facebook profile or script for your own short Horrible History.

This includes three files in PowerPoint Format that have Postcards templates that you can use to engage with parents. Here is an example of what is on the back of one of the cards "Klaudia was the top student with a recently levelled assessment. This is only after a short time being in Set 2. I am very pleased with her behaviour and progress. Only the highest achievers have been recognised. Well done!"
