A good group work project - designed for a Year 9 class. Students are presented with information regarding who JFK was, and his global significance, and the details of the official account as to how he met his end. Students work on a particular popular conspiracy theory in groups of 4-6. Students are encouraged to conduct their own independent research as a homework, and then to present their findings to the rest of the class. Students take notes based on each others presentation, before deciding for themselves on what they believe was the most likely culprit behind the dead of JFK.

The Tripadvisior worksheet is a great way for students to engage in multiple perspectives or make use of peer assessment. I have used the Tripadvisor sheet for KS3 History looking at trench warfare, with soldiers complaining about conditions, before having senior command reply to these complaints. I have also used the worksheets in KS4 when addressing Elizabeth Tudor's 'Middle Way' with Catholics and Protestants reviewing a CofE church.

I have taken the content for the Edexcel American West course and reorganised it completely. As the exam questions for on cause and consequence, I’ve re-ordered the information so that it reads as a series of chronological stories. The revision guide has been written for someone with a reading age of 13 to support low ability learners. I have not ommitted any of the historical content to achieve this. The guide contains a number of written tasks at the end of each working section that are framed on Blooms Taxonomy. Designed to be printed as an A5 booklet This will make an ideal revision guide for your Ks4 group, or could work as a homework booklet to support understanding.

Students of all ages have enjoyed using the Facebook template worksheet for classroom and homework activities. In the past, the template I had created was based on a Facebook profile from 2012, I realised that students were not engaging with this as much as I’d have liked, hence the update. I have gone to great lengths to make the work sheet as good as possible; for example, I have found and used the official Facebook colour scheme to improve the realism. You are invited to alter the sheet as you see best, I have tended to add a photo/picture for the top banner that would reflect the person the profile is for - but this can be done as an additional task, as could the profile picture.

Lessons included in scheme of work: 1 of 6 - What was life in Africa like? 2 of 6 - The Middle Passage 3 of 6 - Save auctions and life on the plantations 4 of 6 - Resistance to slave trade 5 of 6 - The abolition of the slave trade 6 of 6 - The Legacy of the slave trade Enquiry question: What was the experience of those enslaved by the Transatlantic slave trade? All lesson PowerPoints, work sheets and information sheets provided. Information has been written for students with a reading age of 12. The scheme of work is designed for students in year 8 and slots neatly between schemes of work on the British Empire and the Industrial Revolution. This scheme of work satisfies the National Curriculum’s need for ’ at least one study of a significant society or issue in world history and its interconnections with other world developments.’ I have put a lot of thought and effort into providing an human experience led scheme of work that looks at the individual struggles of those who were enslaved as well as the international reasons for the slave trades existence.

Lessons included in scheme of work: 1 of 5 - The Rise of the Lancastrian Kings 2 of 5 - Herstory: Joan of Arc 3 of 5 - The War of the Roses 4 of 5 - The Princes in the Tower Mystery 5 of 5 - The Rise of the Tudors All lesson PowerPoints, work sheets and information sheets provided. Information has been written for students with a reading age of 12. The lessons have been carefully designed to take students (Ideally year 7) through the narrative of the War of the Roses step by step. We start by looking at the reign of King Richard II, those students who have covered the Peasants Revolt will be able to recall his actions here and tie together why he was unpopular. From there, we look at the events and actions of the different leaders until we arrive at the Tudor dynasty. The whole scheme should take roughly a half term to work through. This scheme of work satisfies the National Curriculum: The development of Church, state and society in Medieval Britain 1066-1509 The Hundred Years War The Wars of the Roses; Henry VII and attempts to restore stability

The Rise and Fall of the Angevin Empire: Hastings to Magna Carta Lessons: 1 of 8 - Who Should be King, 1066? 2 of 8 - The Battle of Stamford Bridge 3 of 8 - The Battle of Hastings 4 of 8 - How does William keep control? 5 of 8 - The Sons of William I 6 of 8 - Empress Matilda and the Anarchy Wars 7 of 8 - Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II 8 of 8 - How important was the Magna Carta? This scheme of work is designed with year 7 in mind. The reading age of the reading material / tasks is 10 - 11, with more specific historical terms explained as part of the lessons. All lessons can be taught by specialist or non-specialists, the content and tasks are well organised even if the teacher is not familiar with the time period. All lessons are SEND friendly, with short numbered tasks to complete that do not overload the pupils with too much information at once. Lessons are designed to work as a chronological story, from Emma of Normandy to King John, this makes it a lot easier for pupils to follow the events of early medieval England and France. The Rise and Fall of the Angevin Empire has been a really useful scheme of work to explain the reasoning and logic behind the Hundred Years War and the War of the Roses. It also follows on brilliantly from previous units of work of England’s history of migration.

I’ve worked very hard to ensure that the scheme is objective and not subjective as areas of the unit can be considered sensitive. All lessons are designed to be taught by specialists and non-specialists, no prior knowledge is required to cover the content. Scheme should take between 5-6 weeks to complete.
