A PPT which can be used as a single lesson task or a series. Introduces students to the De Stijl iconic chair and is a design and modelling based lesson. Students follow complex plans to produce a scale model in a series of different media. As well as producing technical drawings which are required for the NEA.
Planned for AQA GCE DT this resource could be used for other exam boards or GCSE as it is one of the designers/movements required for the course.
This revision resource contains six mindmaps, all on separate A4 sheets, which cover the main themes and characters of Virgil’s Aeneid - (Aeneas, Dido, Morality, War, Loss and Family) - and include critical quotations as well as context and quotes from the text. The document is therefore six pages in total, and so provides a thorough examination of the text as a whole.
These can be used in the study of A Level Classical Civilisation, which is what I was studying in 2018 when I created them. The fact that the notes are so colourful makes them especially helpful for visual learners.
If you have any questions, feel free to email alevelsuk@gmail.com If you have found this resource helpful, it would be amazing if you could leave a review! I will be uploading other A Level resources in the future.

A useful start for Year 8 (and even Year 7) pupils into Classical music. The task is a comprehension with the document - students answer questions based on picking out information from within the comprehension. Pupils then summarise information from the questions to come up with 5 most important points about the Classical era. This is a document I'd re-worded from Wikipedia, adding and omitting bits where I saw fit. There are all kinds of things that can be added on such as more about instrument inventions, more composers, pieces of music etc. Any feedback would be great, thanks!
