Modern World Quiz cards

(14)
There are a number of ways to use this resource. a) you can give it to the class as a chain card exercise - students read out the first part of their card and then someone else has to provide the answer. You can do this in reverse to be even more challenging. You will notice when you download this resource that the answers don't match the questions (answers have been shuffled down one space and the last answer brought to the top).

Mary Queen of Scots Story - Visual Memory Exercise

Mary Queen of Scots Story - Visual Memory Exercise

(26)
The teacher tells the story of Mary, Queen of Scots dramatically with visual supports. Then provides students with a jumbled chronology as consolidation, which can be stuck in their books, or collected in and a single sheet with the correct chronology on it provided (depending on the class!). Is designed to appeal to visual learners and develop listening skills for all. Is enjoyable and useful lesson and sets the context for the ‘what should Elizabeth do with Mary’ debate.
Marksheets for key skill areas

Marksheets for key skill areas

(3)
There are 2 versions of these marksheets - one levelled for teachers and one for photocopying for students. They have been designed around the key skills of the National Curriculum - chronology, knowledge & understanding, interpretations, source work and organising é communicating ideas. The students will not see the levels (although you could easily add them in if you wanted). The idea behind this is that students will focus on the comments made so they can improve rather than becoming complacent/despondent about the level achieved. there is opportunity for student comment and reflection on their work also.

Why did William want to conquer England. Essay structure work

(1)
Another in the series of essay sorts to help students understand how to construct essays. Involves no writing, just thinking, and leaves students with a takeaway product they can use as a model for future extended writing on causation. Builds on a prior lesson where ‘William’ makes a speech to the class about his reasons for wanting to conquer England.

6 clues to help students work out the reasons why Stalin and Hitler signed the Nazi-Soviet Pact. Most clues not very complicated but obviously they are clues, so will require some working out and teacher scaffolding to point students in the right direction

Why did the Schlieffen Plan fail essay writing activity (no writing involved!)

(3)
<p>This activity is designed to help students think about the construction of an effective essay- (organising and communicating ideas). The instructions are at the end of the document and hopefully should be clear. I have used the same style activity with all age groups; as it is easily adaptable to different topics. You will see the difference in students writing style immediately. I have also attached a literacy exercise that can be done after this to consolidate understanding of the reasons why the SP failed.</p>
