Basic planning sheet for Narrative Account Q on Edexcel.

A series of 10 lessons covering the elements of the Edexcel American West specification relating to migration. Each lesson has a starter of 10 Quick Questions, and many have a link to an exam question. The lesson looking at the Mormon Migration and the one looking at the Donner Party will need either access to a textbook or an information sheet to complete. The lesson looking at problems with the journey west uses the Knight Family diary entry from the Hodder textbook.

A booklet which looks at each style of exam question on the Edexcel History specification. Alongside suggested timings, each question the following information: introduction to the question how to gain marks example question suggested structure things to remember It is based on the options that I teach, but it would be easy to change to other units.

A sheet with sentence starters and structures for Crime and Punishment Paper 1 Edexcel.

Revision clocks to guide revision for students revising the Edexcel 9-1 American West Unit. They cover the whole period and bring thoughts together in a thematic way. My lower ability pupils found them very useful to start their revision.

I produced this booklet when I was running out of time with my year 11s, it allowed them to complete a large proportion of the Whitechapel element of Paper 1 as flipped learning and meant that we could focus on Exam structure and technique in lessons.

I created this powerpoint to deliver a walking talking mock - style session. There are examples of student responses for each Q as well as slides on structure etc and how to approach each Q. We didn’t have exam desks set up in the hall so I asked students to complete small tasks instead of writing out the whole Q, although could be used for a formal walking talking mock if these slides are ignored. Based on Edexcel 9-1 History

This card sort is designed to give students an overview of the course. I have used this resource successfully with a range of ability groups. Lower Ability Card Sort uses different fonts to break down the crime, punishment, law enforcement method and context in each time period. Ideas: A Students to decide which time periods are which colour and to build a rough timeline. Within each time period, students should sort the cards into crimes, punishments and law enforcement methods. Students could pull out changes and continuities across the periods B Students to use it as a checklist. C Students to make links between different cards e.g. as a thinking quilt.

The lesson includes a match up exercise for the key events in the cattle industry over the period. This lesson is best taught as revision or after teaching the cattle industry in more detail. Students then identify what is needed in a narrative account question and are asked to assess an example answer. They are then given a narrative account question of their own to complete.
