This resource includes an assembly plan and 19 slide PowerPoint to use for Women's History Month or International Women's Day on 8th March. No further preparation needed.
The assembly is suitable to use with KS2 or secondary aged children. The slideshow provides the opportunity to discuss why we might focus on women's history, before moving on to give details on how women's circumstances changed from ancient times to today. There are 10 slides which outline key achievements of 10 different women, from Marie Curie to J K Rowling.
The plan (pdf) gives details about how to use the slideshow. I like to lead assemblies that are interactive and relevant to the children's lives, so the plan gives plenty of opportunity for children to discuss ideas, give feedback and reflect.
The PowerPoint and plan are in the zip file. The PowerPoint is not editable. Please click 'Read Only' to open. Some of the images are only revealed when the PowerPoint is played as a slideshow with the animations.

A well presented lesson on the defensive features of Medieval castles created for KS3 history students on Microsoft Powerpoint
A little about the lesson
Students are encouraged to design their own castle and its defences. Students are provided with a king-sized budget and challenged to research and to buy the latest medieval castle defences. Students must therefore consider effectiveness against budget. When considering castle defences students are challenged to use prior knowledge on the most effective and damaging methods of attack.
This is a lesson that excites students and really engages them in their learning. Take it a step further and challenge groups to ‘duel off’ against each others castles.
Whats included?
A whole 1 hour lesson powerpoint is included (there are teacher notes also under some slides). Student worksheets/resources are included in hidden slides in the relevant points of the presentation and also as an additional Powerpoint for ease of printing. Homework, Learning Objectives and outcomes have also been completed in this resource, however, they can easily be tweaked to suit the needs and ability of your classes.

This beautiful crafted lesson has been designed to help students understand the daily challenges facing slaves living on a plantation either in the Carribbean or the southern United States. It is a shocking but engaging lesson that forms part of series on Britain and the Slave Trade . It comes with both a worksheet and a PowerPoint and a wide range of tasks and activities that are suitable for the full ability range. However, I would not recommend teaching this topic to a Year 7 class as it contains some very mature themes.

The worksheet includes detailed information, historical sources and differentiated questions on everyday life in the plantation, the treatment of slaves and their punishments. The PowerPoint includes aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes as well as a variety of starters, plenaries, information slides, historical sources,video clips, tasks and additional activities to help support the lesson. These have been organised in such a way that that they can be used alongside the worksheet. For more information, please see the detailed preview.
The aims and objectives of this lesson are:
Theme: Britain and the Slave Trade
Know: What was it like to be sold at auction?
Understand: How were slaves treated on the plantation?
Evaluate: Why were some slaves treated better than others?
Skills: Enquiry, Source Analysis and Team Work
WILF – What Am I Looking For?
Identify & describe: What was it like to be sold at auction?
Explain: How were slaves treated on the plantation?
Analyse: Why were some slaves treated better than others?
