Designed as part of the KS3 SOW in which students examine the change of power of time. Aimed at the slightly more able, students are encouraged to investigate the sources and critically evaluate the provenance of each in order to make a judgement not only of John, but also on how we approach sources. All instructions are on the slides, clip embedded for starter and all resources ready to print in white at the end of the PPT.

This is an skills tracker tailored towards the new EdExcel 9-1 History exams. It provides space for teachers to enter marks and then produces a visual breakdown of areas of strength and weakness per topic and per question type. Originally designed by myself as a HoD tool to monitor whole-department progress, it can also be adapted to be used with individual classes and as a personal digital mark book. What it does: - Provides space to enter marks for the full range of 13 question types students are required to focus on for GCSE History and then allows you to identify areas of strength and weakness both for individual students and for a whole class/department. - Provides analysis on a per-topic basis, revealing which topics students are strongest and weakest in. - Algorithm which converts a percentage into the new 9-1 grading (beta). Applications: - Feedback to students on areas for improvement - Feedback to parents at parents evenings/revision events to help guide their intervention - Analysis post-exam for SLT - Analysis on student and class performance in exams to show progress over time - Analysis to inform intervention offered in run up to exams This skills tracker is tailored to the following units of study: - Superpower Relations: Cold War - Germany 1919-1939 - Anglo-Saxon and Norman England - Crime and Punishment However, these can easily be changed in the algorithm. The exam questions remain the same and therefore will provide the analysis regardless of units studied.

Originally developed as part of a series of lessons looking at the USA during the 1920s and 30s. Investigates what the stock market is and reasons for the Wall Street Crash of 1929. YouTube clips are embedded in images. Resources and sources are adapted from a variety of locations. All resources are ready to print in white at the end of the PPT.

Full complement of 34 lessons that can be used to teach the Weimar and Nazi Germany unit to GCSE students. Each PowerPoint takes the same format with a set of lesson objectives followed by slides with activities on. Activity resources are almost always at the end of the PowerPoint with white background. If they’re not then they are included separately and linked to the lesson number. Occasionally an activity will say ‘read information’ and usually the information is at the end of the slides as above, if it isn’t there will be a note to say where you can get the relevant information from (e.g. Hodder/Pearson textbook or online) although this is rare. Aimed at middle ability GCSE students, you may need to adapt to stretch and challenge or reduce text etc. as you see fit. Formatted to be dyslexia friendly, clear and easy to follow, I hope these make people’s planning easier!

A full complement of feedback sheets that we use in our department for feeding back on each type of question for Edexcel GCSE History. There are 13 types plus a peer assessment proforma. We use these as DIT topsheets. The students write an exam response, we complete the tick sheet and write a comment (if needed) and they have space to do the student response/DIT task. Visible, simple, easy and quick. When the next round of marking comes up, revisit the sheet to assess whether they get it and tick the relevant follow up.
