I have been teaching History to students aged 11-18 for almost twenty years in an all ability high school. As I spend most of my day in the classroom, I want it to be an inspiring place. The prices reflect the time and effort in creating and editing the resource.

A collection of fifteen posters illustrating how History skills can be applied to careers in engineering, teaching, media, and research. One poster showcases images of famous History graduates.
This is a collection of thirty posters featuring women who have made significant contributions to history. These posters are available for printing in both small and large sizes. I have printed them in large and colorful format and they occupy an entire wall in my room. Students and visiting parents often show interest in these posters and make comments about them.
This is a board game that can be used to introduce the topic of the Berlin Wall, as a break during a triple-period, or as a revision tool. It is a simple game that requires only dice and counters. The game includes commands such as “Your work permit for the West is revoked. Roll a two to progress.” My students enjoyed playing this game as it was a fun and social way of learning.
A double sided poster of evidence regarding the period of The Troubles in Northern Ireland.
I use this at the end of the year with young teenagers as a means of developing a discussion about The Troubles: the causes, events and significance. Evidence includes written materials, images and cartoons from the time. An accompanying set of questions contains true and false, explanation, anagrams, using maths and chronological order.
*Please note: I have no religious or political affiliations and my intention is to facilitate discussion among young people, allowing them to draw their own conclusions.
This text is intended for individuals who are preparing to take the Northern Ireland curriculum and need guidance on how to answer past paper questions. It covers specific topics such as Nazi Germany, Changing Relations from 1920 to 1949, and International Relations. All of the information provided has been adapted from the CCEA guidelines.
This collection of four posters includes comprehensive information that summarizes the CCEA topics of Life in Nazi Germany, Changing Relations, 1920-49, and International Relations. Each year, my GCSE classes request these posters to put them on their wall to assist with regular revision. They frequently refer to them in class or on Google Classroom. It is best to print these posters larger size and in color.
This game is designed for introducing or revising the concepts of Propaganda and Censorship in Nazi Germany. It can be played using only dice and counters and involves various commands such as “A blockleiter reports you for grumbling about Hitler’s speeches. Wait here until you roll a two.” My class enjoys playing social games that incorporate learning almost as a byproduct.
A set of ten posters to explain why students experience stress and some tips for minimizing this.
This is used in my room as a display item with ideas such as: knowing your course, planning study, living with intention, caring for yourself and planning your future pathway. It encourages students to be proactive about senior school and to develop good habits for school and life.
This poster is designed for printing in a larger size and color to help facilitate student discussion. It features evidence in various forms, including key information, quotes from important figures, statistics, a map, and clear definitions, such as for genocide, which is often used to describe the Famine. Additionally, a set of questions is included for each source, making it a great fit for higher-ability students.
*Please note: I have no religious or political affiliations and seek only to facilitate discussion, allowing students to draw their own conclusions.
This is an activity for the Cold War section on the Vietnam War. Pupils match the USA slang to the actual meaning. My class enjoyed it for a quick social break in the triple period and because they learned some new slang.
This poster of evidence relates to the development of Belfast prior to the Home Rule Crisis. The included evidence is in the form of statistics, written information, cartoons and population figures.
We use this as an extension activity for higher level students, allowing them to chat about why and how Belfast developed, the issues at the time of Home Rule and why Unionists feared the passing of Home Rule.
These PDF files are perfect for printing full-scale color posters or A3 size that display the various aspects of the individual Stuart reigns. They are typically used as a display in my room and my post sixteen students like having their own wall display.
*If anyone wants the publisher version, I can upload this with printing instructions.
This is an assessment based on the butcher of the Somme debate.
The poster includes a variety of sources such as diaries, opinions, diagrams, statistics, and a video clip. The video source is freely available online. The accompanying grid prompts students to first determine whether Haig was a butcher, hero, or bungler and then provide evidence to support their stance. The second task requires students to evaluate the trustworthiness of each source and provide justifications for their assessments. Finally, the third task asks students to write a paragraph explaining their viewpoint and supporting it with specific details.
We use this as a tracking assessment, counting towards their overall grade for the year. It develops skills useful at senior level.
The resource contains a power point, the grid and the poster of evidence.
