Raw Materials in the Industrial Revolution Presentation (AS Level CIE)

(0)
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?”

Barrier Game - Napoleon Bonaparte’s initiatives as First Consul (CIE A level History)

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. This one is for learning about Napoleon Bonaparte’s initiatives as First Consul (CIE A level History)

Presentation on Why States Fail.

(0)
A **20 slide presentation **for students investigating why states fail. Lots of opportunity for discussion, activites can be added if you wish. It approaches the question from the basis that a nation state is an idea, and not innate, as proposed by many but most recently by Yuval Noah Harari in his book ‘Sapiens’. In this presentation, students will be given the main indicators as to why states fail (with examples, i.e. comparing USA to Mexico, South Korea to North Korea) along with how ideas can change the direction of a state.

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.
