This Powerpoint Presentation is specifically targeting 13 to 16 year old students of History. There are 22 slides with a selection of appropriate pictures, fact files and maps included. It is an introductory part of a wider document about “The Development of a Dictatorship – Adolf Hitler”. The resource documents the early years of Hitler up to the end of World War One and it looks more closely at the experiences that shaped his life. Who and what influenced him as he was growing up in Austria and how did being part of an Infantry Regiment in WW1 mould his character. The critical question is asked, how and why did Hitler take his chosen path to infamy? In terms of historical understanding, many National Curriculum prerequisites have been covered and include evidence, continuity, change, cause and effect, perspectives, empathy, significance and contestability. However in short, the most important content is evidence of how and why Adolf Hitler turned into a cruel demagogue. A key element in the presentation is the chronological nature of the study. The World War 1 years also offer an ideal opportunity to learn more about the advances in technology. There are 22 slides with images that are followed by suggested challenges for students to complete. The slides containing maps are available for printing and use in lessons. Slide 25 offers suggested ways in which the presentation can be managed in the classroom. Slide 26 to 38 contains sets of quiz questions that are differentiated for a wide range of abilities. Slide 39 offers writing challenges that are aimed at helping 13 year old students to extend their writing skills from a basic level to advanced levels in preparation for higher examination targets in the future. Slides 40 to 45 are script notes for use by students who can take part in the presentation if directed by the teacher. This unit of work is ideal for between 3 and 6 hours of commitment in the classroom and possibly for use as a homework challenge.

This resource is aimed at giving Geography, Travel and Tourism and Business Studies students from Years 9 through to 11 the experience of handling data related to service industries. The work serves to satisfy the type of work associated with field studies and research. The data is presented on a spreadsheet that highlights the Service Industry of Poole in Dorset. Using the information, students will be able to propose a hypothesis and then attempt to prove or refute the chosen statement. Within the folder there is a powerpoint presentation that can be used independently as a collection of Geography topics about the English County of Dorset. Specifically it addresses the concepts of Site, Situation and Function of a settlement. The powerpoint presentation alone can be used to support up to 10 contrasting lessons. The photographs can be used for introductions to a number of Human and Physical Geography topics including the following specifics and links: Poole Port, Service Industry, Tourism, Shopping Streets, Spreadsheet statistics, Bays and Headlands, Lulworth Cove, Lulworth Village, Swanage Bay, Groynes, Stair Hole, Durdle Door, Corfe Castle, Dorset Geology, Settlements, Site, Situation, Function and finally a number of excellent photographs that can be converted to field sketch diagrams.

PTA - QUIZ NIGHT RESOURCE. This resource would be ideal for an organiser of a PTA social evening and targets both the Primary and Secondary sector. In my opinion it is perfect for a family night out courtesy of the PTA. I am adding an extra resource with higher level quiz material about WW1. This includes 4 quizzes and 2 power point presentations about WW1, worth £3 in my TES Shop (Times Educational Supplement). My TES shop can be found on a TES search with “IanPCostaDelSol”. All my resources will support charity this year and beyond. In total there are at least 650 quiz questions and all with answers and fact sheets to support the content. Content includes: General knowledge, people, places, History, Geography and a host of other topics, too many to mention. The target age group was 9 to 16 but I am sure they would be ideal for a family quiz night in a school hall. More detail about the offer follows: 2020 has been a challenging year and perhaps when we get to 2021 the Schools and Colleges will get back to having social functions in support of all of the young people in the UK and around the World. This resource is everything in the way of quizzes that I have created over the last 6 months. I offered them free of charge during the Covid crisis specifically for home learning. This time I ask that you donate £2 for my Homeless Charity Appeal so that you may download this sizeable resource. My chosen charities include Crisis, Salvation Army Homeless Fund and the Berwick Project. The latter helps keep young people off the streets and gives the children much needed support, hope and ambition for their future.

This Salvation Army Charity Quiz targets children between the ages of 10 and 16 years but may also be suitable as a pub quiz. The Charity quiz includes general knowledge questions, pictures and a few puzzles. The file also includes 10 free general knowledge quizzes also targetting young school students. For a small donation of £2 toward the Salvation Army Homeless Charity, I hope that with your help we can make a difference to a few people who have fallen on difficult times. Perhaps some of the Primary Schools out there might consider running a Family Charity Quiz Social Evening using this resource when the World gets back to some kind of social normality. Thank you for your support. Ian Patterson (August 2020).

This resource is a Tudor timeline covering the main people and events that took place between 1485 and 1603. It is ideal for teachers delivering information about the reign of the Tudors. The resource covers a little more than 118 years of History and would be an ideal support for teachers of History in both the Primary and Secondary sectors. Included are 90 images of people, documents, castles, maps, battles and many other connected visual aids that can support the delivery of History lessons. Throughout this year (2020 - 2021) all of my resources support homeless charities and I hope that with your help we can give a few people on the streets much needed support in getting their lives back on track. Good luck in your Schools and Colleges this coming year 2020 - 2021. Ian Patterson (IanPCostaDelSol).

Adolf Hitler 1889 to 1918 – His Early Years and WW1 - This resource comes in the form of a fact file and a selection of classroom exercises that are aimed at 13 to 16 year old students of 20th Century History. In addition to this there is a small section (images) that would be suitable for the PSHE programme especially in the month of November. The material in this 21 page resource documents the birth of Adolf Hitler through to the conclusion of WW1. It contains written information, pictures, maps, quiz questions and research challenges. The research challenges are ideal for perhaps two internet sessions where students need to search for extra information. The contents are best suited for Key Stage 3 and students in Key Stage 4 preparing for History examinations, particularly the topics “The Rise of Adolf Hitler”, “Development of a Dictatorship” and “The Events of WW1”. The resource materials offered should satisfy between 4 and 8 hours of work in the classroom. As an alternative it may also be offered as a home research project in preparation for GCSE examinations. This resource can be linked and used alongside - Adolf Hitler - Early Years (Powerpoint Presentation created by this same author).

This resource is a timeline of World War One from start to finish. It is offered to teachers and students of History as a support document for lessons about the people and events in WW1. It can be used in many ways such as stimulation for discussions or writing tasks. Teachers can set their students a task and the file can serve as a database of knowledge for them to compile their answers. There are many pictures and links to videos that can form part of a lesson. This resource is ideal for 13 to 16 year old students. It is offered in memory of my late father Jackie Patterson, he served in the Kings Own Scottish Borderers and survived the 2nd World War.

This is the third set of Lock down Quiz challenges (011 to 015). Initially these quizzes were prepared for my two grand-daughters who are 9 and 11 years old. They are also available to all parents and teachers who may wish to use them with their families or students at home. I have tried to make each quiz easy enough to allow youngsters to get a few correct especially at the lower age range. Even if children do not have the wide range of knowledge to answer all of the questions they can use the quiz as a fact gathering exercise by checking out the answers from the internet or other sources. I suggest the children try to answer each question without assistance for 3 points and then with help using research options for 1 bonus point. The answer sheet is equally important as I have tried to offer some wider background information about some of the topics. Going through the answer sheet is a valuable learning exercise. Doing each quiz as a family challenge may well be very entertaining (singles or pairs / with or without a quiz master?). With a quiz master there is no need to print each quiz. With teams, perhaps double points (2 points) for singles answering and one point for a shared answer. I hope you have some family fun… Ian Patterson.

This Project offers an insight into the characteristics of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and it encompasses a taste of the History and the Geography of this diverse area of Northern England. Throughout this resource there is an offering of challenges and tasks for students to attempt. Sub topics include: Glaciation, Geology, Industrial Roots, Roads and Railways, Town and Countryside, Limestone Scenery, Farming, Mapwork Skills and a few others. In total there is enough work for at least 10 lessons that will encompass a wide range of geographical skills within the one project. It is suitable for students with a wide range of abilities from the age of 10 to 16 years. I would introduce this project by looking back at the history of the National Parks. My second focus would be the wider pattern of parks within the USA and then lead into the project which is based specifically on The North Yorkshire National Park in the United Kingdom.
