Timeline for British Public Health (c1000-Present Day) - split into sections for easy revision. Designed for the AQA GCSE History Themetic Study but can be used for any of the studies on Public Health or Medicine in Britain. I have students stick the timeline on the back of their books for easy reference throughout the topic to ensure that students understand the chronology and wider context or the period. Also makes a great revision tool for students!

This lesson summarises the key scientific changes that affect the decline of the witchcraze. Any textbook pages refer to the course textbook for Edexcel. Pupils start with a what do you know exercise, before reorganising a timeline as a class - answers on the powerpoint - pupils should be able to do this from their existing knowledge if you have completed the case studies first. Pupils then watch a short overview video before completing targeted worksheets, using the textbook and/or a simplified overview powerpoint. Pupils then summarise a a class using an impact line before completing a concept diagram.

These quizzes are for Edexcel but they will also work for AQA for the most part (minor tweaks only). They are thematic- 20 questions per theme with a separate 20 questions on the case studies. (Care and Treatment is huge so this has 22) The questions/ answers are also all in chronological order to help support the building of a narrative of change over time. They are based on the WASIIC factors we use to explain reasons for change/ continuity (War, Attitudes, Science and TEch, Institutions, Individuals and Chance). Box for self evaluation at the bottom. We use these to check how well students are revising- we set them themes to revise each week then quiz them in class in test conditions. They can be peer marked to save time and you still get the results to put in your mark book if you need.

This is a great GCSE revision lesson or 2 to allow students the opportunity to reflect on the whole OCR War and Society unit AD790 - 2010 in terms of themes. The lesson starts by explaining the various skills that they need and gives them a useful list of key words that they should be using when analysing significance, cause, consequences etc. Student can then use the table and list of divisions to identify the nature of the division, be it, plunder, ambition, conquest, defence, terror, etc and then assess whether for each period it was an internal or external conflict as well as then assessing the concept of support. There is then a list of the styles of questions, plus examination guidance on how to structure their answers for this unit. At the end there are then opportunities for students to reflect on their completed chart and identify key themes, such as how the nature of conflict has changed across time. As this course is so heavily content driven, this has proved invaluable in allowing students to reflect and form an overview, something which is essential for the bigger questions on this unit.
