Henry VIII and English Reformation

Henry VIII and English Reformation

(3)
Complete notes (basically like a textbook) for AS students. It is written as a chronological account, building in key debates. The reason for chronological rather than thematic focus is because the course has been taught in discrete sections and this is designed to bring it all together. It is not the final, proofed draft and some of the footnoting still needs to be done, but I thought I would upload it in case anyone finds it useful for the imminent exams. I'll post a revised copy when it is complete.

How to write an essay

(21)
How I help students write essays, from KS3 to 6th form. I've tried to make it as much a step by step guide as I can. It is quite detailed, but has examples to clarify.

I thought I would collect together my experiences of different types of drawing with students and my thoughts/tentative conclusions about the value / learning outcomes of such activity, in case it is of any interest.

League of Nations Strengths & Weaknesses

(4)
This exercise is designed to introduce students to the strengths &weaknesses of the structure, membership and powers of the LON. It is also designed to reinforce essay planning techniques. It is fairly straightforward. It starts off as a card sort of strengths and weaknesses. Students then have to categorise into the 3 areas, add an explanation to the description. It can be done as ICT or paper exercise. Assertions for the paragraphs and a conclusion can be added also to extend into total essay plan.

Life in the Trenches

(10)
60 minute carousel: 6 x 10(ish) minute activities. All could be used as standalone activities, however. Objective is to introduce students to range of key information- what the trenches were like, the difference between the German and English, casualty rates, weaponry, who fought in the trenches, war at sea - without labouring over 'life in the trenches'

Y8 SOW Unit 1 Is absolute power possible?

(7)
Half a term’s planning with resources. My y8 are investigating the theme of ‘power and protest’ this year (y7 is ‘lives of ordinary people’ and y9 is ‘conflict and resolution’ - these are the themes i have chosen in line with the new KS3 national programme of study). This is the introductory unit. so far my students are loving it. its not content heavy, as it allows for much discussion in class. am pursuing the ‘do less, more effectively’ concept with my planning this year!

Czechoslovakia 1938

(2)
Lengthy task for higher ability students about Hitler’s takeover of Czechoslovakia in 1938. Involves students having to complete series of tasks in order to ‘earn’ the next set of notes. Teacher’s notes at front of task. Would be easy to break down into individual tasks, or to simplify.

Short Term Causes of WW1

(13)
This is a differentiated homework or unit plenary literacy activity. Students link the events that led to the outbreak of war with arrows, writing appropriate connectives on the arrows to explain the relationship. In the first version, the story is broken down into two halves to make it more accessible. Students should link the white boxes first and then try and link the dark boxes and join the two halves of the story together. The 2nd version is more complex as no indication of chronology is provided. the third version is more complex still as vital parts of the story are removed.
Current affairs History GCSE skills lesson

Current affairs History GCSE skills lesson

(2)
GCSE style source questions using 3 sources about current news stories (Grexit / Shooting in USA / Criticism of online review sites). The intention is to separate out the skills of source handling from the secondary challenge of understanding the history - hopefully by using sources which relate to stories in the news today, they will feel confident in the material and be able to focus on the skills.
