An information booklet all about the earliest writing in the world: cuneiform. The booklet includes information on how cuneiform works, how it developed over time, how it was translated, what it was used for and mathematics. There is also discussion on how cuneiform impacts our lives today and why it is important to learn about the past. The power point is a series of suggested activities to go alongside the booklet, including questions, working out mathematical equations, significance tournament and a linking game.

4 lessons on Ancient Egypt, covering each of the 3 kingdoms and Ptolemaic Egypt and focusing on religion, hieroglyphs and famous Pharaohs. Each power point contains general information, links to articles and/or videos, various activities that are quick but fun, and the occasional creative challenge. I have also included a power point which covers artifacts from Tutankahmun’s tomb. (Please note you will need Microsoft Power Point for some of the activities to work). These lessons are suitable for all ages and were created specifically for lock down: providing extra information and activities for children at home to help keep them busy and expand their learning. These lessons were not made to fit into a specific curriculum, but could be adapted for normal lessons. Accompanying kahoots: Ancient Egypt: Hieroglyphics and Pyramids Ancient Egypt: Overview

A series of 3 lessons introducing students to Mesopotamia and the first civilisation (Sumerians). Activities include looking at the geography of the Middle East, the language used, who lived in Mesopotamia and the different roles they had in society. The third lesson focuses on the significance of early Mesopotamia and examines how we calculate the significance of a historical era/event.

An educational, fast and fun card game to help educate students about the Egyptian Book of the Dead. All cards are based on the real gods, monsters, spells and events found in the Book of the Dead scriptures. All images on the cards are contemporary images, and most from the Book of the Dead scriptures. The aim of the game is to collect 5 chapter cards - key events in the deceased’s journey through the netherworld - before the other players. The various gods, monsters and spells can help and hinder this aim. All cards and instructions are included, including a document containing smaller cards, to save on printing. All you need to do is print out the cards and instructions, mark the cards that are lightning cards (see instructions) and then hand the cards out to pupils (ideally 2-5 in a group) to play! If needed, you are welcome to edit the cards or instructions to make it more suitable to your pupils etc.

Specially made for Black History Month, these two lessons focus on 5 individuals who fought for the abolition of slavery, both in America and in Britain. A range of class activities allow pupils to be creative, discuss their views and develop their knowledge of abolitionists. These lessons also cover reasons why abolishing slavery was such a challenge and what might be done to end modern slavery. A piece of homework is also set at the end of the second lesson. As these lessons focus on the abolition of slavery, pupils should have at least some prior knowledge on the Atlantic slave trade and the abhorrent treatment slaves faced. I have also put a case study on Harriet Tubman on Tes for free, however it is not part of a complete lesson.

Information and activities on how World War One was a truly global war, focusing on the fighting in Africa and the African Americans who joined the conflict. The aim of these activities is to develop knowledge on World War One, disperse misconceptions about the conflict and help remember those who fought in the war. Activities include creative projects, interactive tasks, writing paragraphs and completing quizzes, which can be incorporated into lessons or form a whole lesson. Most of these activities can be completed at home, in case pupils/year groups need to isolate. Topics covered include why World War One is seen as a global war, the victories of the Harlem Hellfighters, fighting in East Africa and how non-whites were treated after the war. All resources, including videos, are included.

A display (but can also be used as a class resource) showing the achievements of individual ancient women. I have aimed to include women from around the world, such as from South America, Asia and North Africa, and those who are not well known, for example looking at the achievements of Cleopatra’s sister rather than Cleopatra herself. Each power point slide includes images, dates, maps, a general biography and trivia on each individual. The aim of this resource is to erase misconceptions of both ancient civilisations around the world and the role of women in history. The women included are: Enheduanna Hatshepsut Nefertiti Sammu-Ramat Naqia Gargi Vachaknavi Sappho Artemisia I of Caria Aspasia Artemisia II Zhuo Wenjun Arsinoe IV Livia Amanishahitu Cai Wenji Helena Hypatia of Alexandria Aelia Augusta Seondeok Lady K’abel

A display (but can also be used as a resource) showing the many achievements of individual modern women. I have aimed to include women from around the world, including from Europe, South America and Asia. I have also used women who are not often seen in the mainstream curriculum, for example sharing the biographies of the relatively unknown Sojourner Truth and Sarah Breedlove, rather than the more famous Rosa Parks. Each power point slide has images, dates, maps, a general biography and trivia on each individual, with the aim of increasing awareness on some of the many achievements of women in history. The individuals included are: Manuela Saenz Kate Sheppard Mary Wollstonecroft Sirimavo Bandaranaike Wangari Maathai Ada Lovelace Indira Ghandi Ursula Kuczynski Sojourner Truth Emperor Cixi Valentina Tereshkova Shirin Abadi Edith Windsor Yoshioka Yayoi Evelyn Scott Ellen Johnson Jeanne Villepreux Rigoberta Menchu Tum Sarah Breedlove Nadia Murad

A special one-off lesson I made for my students in the run up to teaching about slavery in the British Empire. I didn’t want them to have the one view of Africa, or to stereotype Africa as a continent full of nothing but warring tribes, so made this lesson. It involves group work investigating various different African countries and civilisations, from various points in time. However, if you don’t like the layout of the lesson the resources will hopefully still be helpful in investigating a wide range of historic African cultures.

For Black History Month: a case study on the Haiti Revolution, adapted from a feedback lesson about writing strong PEE paragraphs. An information sheet is provided, as well as power point slides with questions and a practice paragraph. Could be a useful addition to a lesson about slavery, empires and rebellion.
