68 pages / 28,000 words of content for Women’s rights in the USA.
Revision Notes broken up into themes and sub-themes for ease.
For example:
Topic: Period for Women’s Rights: The Civil War and the Gilded Era (1865-1900)
Subtopic: The Position of Women before the Civil War (1861-1865)
• Women were increasingly active in several ways in 18th Century
o As a result of a growth in religious enthusiasm women were often active in church societies, Sunday schools and religious meetings
o Women participated in the campaign against slavery and were often ardent abolitionists, supporting the end of slavery in the South
o Some (like former slave Harriet Tubman) played a heroic role in rescuing slaves and helping them to reach free territory in the North
o Promotion of temperance – discouraging the drinking of alcohol
o Development of a movement for women suffrage
• There was a link between the social concerns that women took an interest in and organised themselves to promote the wider political issue of suffrage

This is a unique resource, nothing else matches it on TES for the OCR Russia and its rulers 1855-1965 A Level course.
I took me ages to create - it provides the detailed factual evidence for the course in a thematic way, which enables clear teaching and effective revision.
The students that I have taught have achieved great results on this paper as a result of using this. They find writing their essays so much easier!
All the pink sheets for teaching Tudor Rebs.
I print these onto A3 paper back to back so they are easy to locate in the folders.
I teach all rebs chronologically according to these theme s then we go back and spend 2 months studying the themes discretely once we have all the knowledge and overview of changes in the period.
I also have a comprehensive set of lessons for teaching the chronological order of the rebs (England first then Ireland as the story of Ireland needs to be taught uninterrupted).
I teach the rebs chronologically first using pink sheets as I go to make sure students get good notes relevant to each theme then go back and do thematic analysis afterwards.
