An assembly about prayer and how different beliefs practice it. I have taken the angle of discussing similarities and differences and introduced the idea of atheist prayer (a thunk). There is a link to a clip from a Christian discussing why prayer is important to them. Notes and knowledge are included in the notes section of the slides. This could also be used as a presentation in a lesson.

A fully resourced review lesson on the Norman Conquest that helps pupils recall and reflect on castles, feudal system, Domesday Book and the Church. Activities are group and individual focused with a dice activity that gets pupils to think more deeply about the idea of control.

I developed these resources for a down syndrome pupil to help with inclusion in History lessons. - Activities matched the theme/topic everyone studied in History during yr8 - Easily adaptable for own school curriculum - Overview can be adapted for any pupil

A lesson developed through staff collaboration using Lesson Study. Look for the other similarly named lessons. - Fully resourced - Fun and interactive - Designed for all abilities (including SEN) - Pair/Group work focused ** In this lesson you will need the white Crime and Punishment Through Time textbook in order to use the excellent Roman city scene showing the punishments. If you can't get hold of this you will have to adapt one of the activities or create your own scene**

Though this is designed for History, it is adaptable for any KS4 and 5 subject. I found parents were really positive to have an A5 sheet to take away with key dates of the exams, links to revision websites/text and other information such as the specification.

A lesson developed through staff collaboration using Lesson Study. Look for the other similarly named lessons. - Fully resourced - Fun and interactive - Designed for all abilities (including SEN) - Pair/Group work focused I delivered the lesson as follows: Starter: Inference Picture Task. Get pupils to try and suggest what may be happening in the picture (e.g. The White Cliffs of Dover suggests it’s in Britain etc) Main Tasks: Quick question video clip in which pupils watch the film and write down some basic answers. This is used to set the scene. Group Work: Get pupils into groups of 3. Prior to the lesson stick on one side of sugar/A3 paper the resources I have included (sources for invasion). Also pupils should read the 'Instruction sheet legionnaire' to gain an understanding of the task. Then give the pupils 15 minutes to plan. After this use the PP to bring up the scenario slides which may put a spanner in their planning. I do this every 5 minutes. Plenary/Consolidation: Pupils are to use the sentence starters to write an extended piece of writing about the invasion of Britain. Also, use the link to the BBC to see how accurate the pupils were in their exercises.

A lesson that looks at significance and, in particular, individuals who are deemed important. Pupils watch the first 10 minutes of the BBC YouTube documentary on Brunel (Greatest Britons) and then debate using resources why he is deemed significant. They rate him according to criteria and summarize their thoughts.

An assembly (presentation) about remembering past wars and the military. I have focused on the effects of war on the mental health of the soldiers. It includes: - Notes on each slide: background to wars, the environment and working with other people - A link to a clip (not YouTube) on the mental health of soldiers (on the final note slide)

These resources includes: - A lesson on District 6 with a link to similarities with the film District 9 - A source based test on Apartheid - Worksheets to help investigate key areas of Apartheid

An excellent way for pupils to capture how well they have done each time they try a source question. This has been made for the Impact of War on Britain GCSE History unit but I have left it adaptable so teachers can use it with any topic or any subject KS4 or 5. - Stick it on the inside of a pupils book at the beginning of the unit - Each time they do an exam question get them to write their mark and the date they did it on the grid - Excellent way to either show progress or spot were pupils are having difficulties with certain types of exam questions so you can focus their revision

A great way to get children thinking about some of the EEF research findings about teaching and learning. Includes references to collaborative learning and feedback.

A revision presentation and test for KS4 pupils. Includes: - Full test with allocated marks on an easy to photocopy sheet - Tests general knowledge and source skills - Fun revision activity where pupils create a poster using notes and pictures

A detailed SOW that includes: - Lesson Objectives and outcomes - Key questions to use for lessons - Coherent sequence of lessons that build up to an assessment - Suggested activities to use in every lesson

A fully resourced double lesson on the Egyptians which includes: - Easy to follow objectives which the students can measure progress against using a bar - A mixture of activities that includes watching a video clip and filling out a data capture sheet, creating and playing a board game and extended writing - You will need A3 sheets for the board game. It requires pupils to measure and plot which helps with their math's skills and create counters for the game

A fully resourced lesson on the Ancient Greeks which includes: - Gap fill activities as a starter - Outcomes and progress towards it - Fun activity whereby students assess how dangerous the events where in the Olympics

Two lessons on the Battle of Britain with a heavy focus on source work. - Simple to follow PowerPoint's help you see the plan of the lessons - Fully resourced and ready to go - Hand out the pilot names to pupils at the beginning of the lesson and they leave them on their desks. Then give them the outcomes sheets at the end so they learn the fate of what happened to them. Very thought provoking.

A source sheet that can be linked to part of a lesson or used as the basis of one. One method I us is: - Display a photograph of children being evacuated from a train station. Ask pupils to develop some questions they would want to ask them, e.g. "What's in your suitcase?" etc. Write these on the board. -In pairs, pupils can study sources on the evacuation of children during WWII and attempt to answer the questions devised in the starter. Feedback to class. Extension – Pupils can try and create additional questions to ask about the evacuation. - Afterwards set a homework around the questions that could not be answered

Aimed to be used at the end of a study of the key Cold War event. The lesson is structured as follows: - Pupils create a mind map about what they already know about the Cuban Missile Crisis - They then use sources (the number of which can be reduced depending on the ability of pupils) to populate the mind map during the course of the lesson. Pupils use a different colour pen for this so it clearly shows new material gleaned from the resources. - Feedback and sharing with other members of the class. Again pupils should use another colour for this so it shows peer teaching
