More of these quick mental warm ups. Ideal for a quick activity at the beginning of a lesson or as a quick mid-lesson break to engage students and get them thinking. I have found these work a treat for my classes and prevent a lot of discipline problems. For example my Yr 10 class have gone from difficult to engage and a lot of work to manage to a fantastic class by using these at the beginning of each lesson- they love it! Those relating to ads and songs will fall 'out of date' after a few months so I hope that my sharing sees them put to good use before they expire.

King Arthur Historical Investigation Year 11 Anc H

(0)
This worksheet is designed to be used in conjunction with the movie King Arthur starring Clive Owen and Keira Knightly and a range of other King Arthur resources available on TES Australia as mentioned. It has been designed as a brief end of course extra topic for Year 11 History in the event that the course is finished before the end of Year Term 3 Year 11 given that students are not permitted to commence the Year 12 course until Term 4. Note that the movie is suitable only for Year 11 and 12 students and only with appropriate permission according to school policy due to its MA15+ rating.

A few more 'brain warmers' to use as an engagement activity at the beginning of the lesson or as a quick 'commercial break' mid lesson. They serve as a great engagement activity and are also a great class room behaviour management tool (engaged students are focused and well behaved).

Local GeographyCreate your own Monopoly-style Game

(0)
Designed for Stage 4 Geography as a practical Geography skills activity group work task. Students research and draw on knowledge of local geography localised to either their town, school or Australia and use this information to create a personalised and localised version of Monopoly. This works well as an end of year activity. The template is hand-drawn, so it's not fantastic, but it should be useable.

Rights and Freedoms: America Civil Rights Movement

(1)
Learning activities relating to the American Civil Rights Movement as part of Yr 10 History core Rights and Freedoms topic. I recommend doing American Civil Rights before Australian Aboriginal Rights in this unit because they in many ways inspired the Civil Rights Movement in Australia and doing the US first helps to provide a broader context.

"Speed-dating" The Industrial Revolution

(0)
A dynamic learning activity that keeps students moving to make learning more fun and interesting as students 'speed-date' information about various aspects of the Industrial Revolution to complete a work sheet. Follow up questions and a modified version for students with literacy learning needs is included. Instructions are on the activity-provided in Word and PDF (because sometimes the layout of word changes from computer to computer).

Overview Ancient into Modern World

(1)
Learning activities related to map and the transition of the ancient world into the modern. Includes using a map as an historical source and a chronology exercise. This would work best if complemented by teacher explication of the reasons for the 'fall' of Rome, Constantine's relocation to Constantinople and where future topics (e.g. Vikings and Shoguns) to be studied fit into the chronology. It also includes a modified version of the task that has adaptations designed specifically for a student with difficulty writing and moving due to cerebral palsy.

(0)
Information relating to Hatshepsut Personality study Ancient History Yr 12. Syllabus checklist for students to use as a study tool, Overview of Religion in the period & Role of Pharaoh in the Period linked to syllabus requirements. Note, I teach this in conjunction with the Historical Period: New Kingdom to Thutmose IV hence the 'quick reviews'. Reference to 'Edmodo' is for my students only but similar information can be found online.

You be the Teacher Group Work Activity

(0)
Designed for my Year 10 History class but it would be suitable for other high school year groups and other subjects than history (e.g. Science, Geography and English). The idea with this is to get students to engage with topic information in textbooks or other sources and then turn this into a structured lesson. Teacher instructions and lesson planning worksheets are included.

Brain Warmers

A couple more "brain warmers" to use as a quick pre-lesson engagement and brain warm up activity or a quick study break. These work a treat in getting disengaged students listen and work well as a classroom management tool..very worthwhile in using a few minutes of each lesson for these in my experience as the rest of the lesson goes much more smoothly and learning time is more effective.
