Origins of the American Civil War notes (A Level History CIE)
THRITY TWO PAGES of notes that I created from various sources, including mark schemes, to help A Level History students studying the Origins of the American Civil War. Every aspect of the syllabus is covered.
97 slides dedicated to helping my A Level students learn every aspect of the Cambridge A Level History syllabus for the The Russian Revolution, 1894–1921, with group and individual tasks thrown in.
You can use this alongside the delivery of the course, or as a revision aid.
Includes the following key questions:
What were the causes and outcomes of the 1905
Revolution up to 1914?
What were the causes and immediate outcomes of
the February Revolution in 1917?
How and why did the Bolsheviks gain power in
October 1917?
How were the Bolsheviks able to consolidate their
power up to 1921?
Many parents and students approach me and I always get the same question:
“Why would knowing about the past help me get a job?”
This is where the poster comes in - it outlines the soft skills and concepts we learn in History with information on what jobs people with History qualifications can do later on in life.

Liberalism and Nationalism in Germany, 1815-1871

DIRT (Dedicated Improvement and Reflection Time) is a great way for students to act upon the feedback that you have given as their teacher.
I have designed these editable DIRT Feedback sheets that correspond with the Cambridge IGCSE History Syllabus. The sheets are handed out to the students who find the corresponding assessment code on their work in order to do the task on the sheet. This means they are actively responding to my feedback, it saves me time marking and the students are reminded of what exactly it is we are assessing them on.
Once they have handed back their corrections/tasks, they complete the ‘Next Steps’ section, where they have to write down HOW they are going to improve in the future. This also informs you how best to support your students going forward.
These sheets can be used in conjunction with your school’s setting of SMART Targets.
This is an editable presentation for you to amend if needed. Please do not share.
France, 1774–1814 (CIE A Level 9489) - Mega Review Presentation.
This can be used as a revision tool for students or as a companion presentation for the CIE A Level course on the French Revolution.

Raw Materials in the Industrial Revolution Presentation (AS Level CIE)
A simple presentation that starts with some retrieval practice on the previous topic (Why was there a rapid growth of industrialisation after 1780?) and moves onto basic information about iron and coal’s role in the industrial revolution.
Two tasks at the end - first task is for students in pairs to create a visual analogy about the role of these raw materials using these details, a textbook and some online detective work!
The second task (which can be set for HW) is for students to create a visual presentation ‘essay’ answering this ‘a’ type Paper 2 question: “Why did raw materials help speed up the industrial revolution after 1780?”

An excellent and collaborative way to introduce new topics to students is the Barrier Game. A barrier game is a game with a barrier in between the two players so that they cannot see the other person’s side. The aim of barrier games is for the players to use their talking and listening skills to make both sides match and learn key words/content as they do so.
