I am currently a head of faculty, with over 10 years teaching experience, specialising in History. I am passionate about developing excellent teaching which allows all pupils to feel challenged, supported and involved in their own learning. I have maintained outstanding results across KS4 and 5 and feel this has been made possible through rigorously planned lessons which are constantly updated to take into account meaningful, pedagogical changes in education.

The Holocaust in Numbers

(0)
This lesson is taken from a unit on the Holocaust, titled ‘What do we need to know about the Holocaust?’. In this lesson, students will be provided with a number of statements and a set of figures on an activity sheet (differentiated). Their task is to match each of the statements to the correct figure. I have found that this activity creates a great deal of student engagement. Once complete, answers can be provided, which will then lead into an SMSC plenary. A starter activity is also included for students as soon as they get in the room.
