The powerpoint presentation provides a text only narrative of the events of Bloody Sunday. It then goes on to outline the consequences of the day. The presentation is intended to be used alongside other materials that are already in your classroom, such as textbooks etc. It can be used by pupils as a point of reference when wanting to revise the key points. The you tune clip is a short clip that summarises the day. Images are kept to a minimum as the choice of the most appropriate ones varies based on the maturity of a class.
Aimed at GCSE History classes and their teachers. These resources comprise a range of information sheets that include activties to test knowledge, understanding and skills. Visual sources are included where appropriate in each worksheet. The Powerpoint breaks down the build up to, the events of and the consequences of Bloody Sunday. The worksheets can be used as standalone resources or alongside textbooks and other reference materials. The presentation does not include any activities as it is inteded to prompt questioning and discussion amongst the class: note that the inquiries have passed judgement on the events of 30th January 1972.
20 posters based on famous historical quotations. They are ideal for display or for use as a discussion point. Posters such as these can reinforce the significance of HIstory, making them useful for parents evenings and displays at school events. Many quotes about History are worthy of discussion. They often relate to the uses and misuses of the past, making them ideal prompts for discussion in tutor sessions and citizenship sessions. See my other resources for additional quotation posters and resources. They can be changed weekly to provide variety or to match up with specific areas that are being taught.
Thomas Hobbes’ Social Contract is one of the most important ideas put forward by a British Political theorist. Hobbes wrote his seminal work, Leviathan, in the midst of the turmoil of the civil wars that tore through England, Ireland and Scotland. Political concepts are difficult for many students to comprehend at A Level. Especially so when the context in which they were developed was so much different to modern society.
In these activities the context is explored to provide students with a grasp of what was going on around Hobbes as he developed his thinking. They consider how these events may have influenced his ideas before looking at specific issues. These are the nature of man, the rights to which they are entitled and the conflicts that this leads to. The Social Contract that is developed as a result of this theorising is then explored through a variety of activities.
Accompanying the activity pack is a file containing a range of sources and quotes about the work of Hobbes. This provides a bank of reference materials.
Using a range of sources and historical data, learners investigate and record the spead of the Great Plague. This provides them with a god understanding of the methodology of the day along with developing their awareness of the varied types of views held at the time. Data rich, this activity also illustrates how destructive infectious diseases could be and provides the basis for much discussion about changes in towns and cities over time. There are various activities within the pack which allows for differentiation or extension of the study over a series of lessons. Examples of audio visual presentations created by my classes as a result of this study can be found on my youtube channel or via the schoolshistory.org.uk website.
A simple resource that guides learners through the process of creating a mind map. This was designed for learners attaining below the national average as a means of helping them to develop revision skills. The activity can be differentiated to make it far more complex through adding additional factors or asking learners to make combinations of factors explicit.
This combnation of resources can be used as a standalone lesson on aspects of Islamic Medicine. The primary activity is a series of source based questions. This is supported by two prompt sheets t aid assessment, peer evaluation and development of learners' awareness of ways to answer different types of questions. The pack concludes with a Mind mapping activity that could be used as a plenary session or set as homework.
A straightforward and accessible introduction to the theory of the Four Humours. This provides an understanding of the theory than underpinned much of medical practice for thousands of years.

This revision frame is useful for students studying Stalin’s Rise and Stalinism / the USSR as part of a GCSE course. It is designed to revise and record key issues leading up to Stalin having total control. The Youtube video will help students to recall knowledge from lessons. It can be used in Intervention sessions to record things that are discussed with individual students. It can also be used as a general homework task or as a recording sheet at the end of your classes study of Stalin’s Rise.
These resources are designed to help students break down the content of a visual source. The Anti-Vaccine Society image ‘The Cow Pock’ is full of suggestions and fears about Jenner’s Vaccination. The presentation highlights some of these and asks students to identify the key features of these segments. This allows the larger picture to then be pieced back together for an overall view of the sources strengths, weaknesses, uses and limitations. The youtube video briefly outlines Jenner’s role in the history of medicine. The worksheet can be used whilst working through the presentation, or afterwards as a means of checking understanding. Not all areas of the famous image are analysed in the presentation. To do so would take more than one lesson in many cases. I’d advise making this clear to students, some will be able to identify additional imagery and it’s intended purpose.
This activity contains a brief decision making exercise followed by activities relating to treatments provided by the Cult. The decisions relate, in general terms, to options that may have been available to people with minor ailments. The follow up activities ask learners to think about the reasons for these treatments and the way that they compare to other forms of medicine that was practised in the ancient world.
A game based loosely on the board game. This activity is an engaging method of revisiting key elements of Medicine in the Ancient World. It comes complete with rules, guidance and easy to cut out currency. Prior to playing this game my own classes have completed a research project into the Ancient World either in class at the end of Year 9 or as a homework project prior to beginning their GCSE study of medicine through time. The project booklet is included in this package, though is available as a free resource from my resource list.
This bundle provides all of the content and tasks required for a GCSE study of medicine in the Renaissance.

Information sheet with accompanying questions and prompts. Aimed at GCSE History classes studying SHP. This resource was originally developed for classes attaining slightly below the national average.
A very straightforward research project booklet. As the newer courses tend to omit a study of Ancient Medicine this booklet can be used as a Year 9 / Holiday research task to help provide learners with some of the main points from the Ancient World. This should provide a firm basis upon which a study of Medicine in th Medieval World can be conducted. The booklet asks learners to consider factors, achievements and the things that impeded progress in Ancient Medicine.

Simple worksheet designed to be used alongside discussion and teacher prompts. It looks at some of the main issues that were faced by Henry VII in 1485 and the ways in which they could be tackled. Differentiation for this worksheet is largely down to the way that the teache leads the discussion. There are a wide range of suiable video clips available on sharing websites that can aid the teaching of this topic.
A variety of simple but effective starter activities relating to Medicine through time. Several take the form of a dominoes game where learners have to make links between key words.
