The worst jobs in History - Tudor Times
Lesson that accompanies Tony Robinson's "Worst Jobs in History - Tudor Times" video (available in 6 parts on youtube). The table can be completed by students during the video or they can gather the information afterwards (ppt slides would therefore need to be printed and passed around or put around the classroom). Extension activity on the back of the table and whole class vote and justification as plenary.
Worst Jobs in History generic table to accompany video
Generic and adaptable table that can used alongside any episode of Tony Robinson's "Worst Jobs in History" series. Used with a low ability year 7 class and did require pausing the video to write job titles onto the whiteboard. Students enjoyed thinking carefully and making decisions about what may have been not so unpleasant about particular jobs, and how good it might have been to have even had a job at some points in History.
Booklet for students: Hitler’s foreign policy/Origins of the Second World War - GCSE Unit 1, Topic 3
Useful booklet to accompany lessons on the 'Hitler’s foreign policy and the origins of the Second World War' topic. Hope it comes in useful, and if you're using this along with some of the other booklets I have uploaded - I would suggest you get it printed in a different colour of paper!

Did the Suffragettes do more harm than good? 25 minute interview lesson
Powerpoint, accompanying worksheet for students to complete, evidence packs and a lesson plan for a 25 minute lesson for a mixed ability year 10 class, at the start of the their British History depth study. The class had not previously studied the suffrage movement, so this was intended to be an overview of the actions of the Suffragettes, the Suffragists and the actions of women during WWI, and was intended to help students to make an initial decision about which action was the most effective in women gaining the vote. For the lesson, I glued the evidence packs onto sugar paper and had students move round the packs of evidence after 5mins. I glued source C onto the back of the paper, as the intention was to use that source to challenge the most able students, encouraging them to analyse its provenance as well as its content.
Paintings of the Trenches of WWI - Remembrance Day display/assembly
Very simple PPT (auto circulating slides) of 22 paintings by British, French and German artists - depicting the trenches of WWI. This was used as a background to a Remembrance Day assembly, and shown (circulating) during the History HOD's description of trench warfare. The final slide was frozen and displayed during the silence.
Terrorism through time (Roman and Tudor)
Lesson that works well at the start of an investigation into Terrorism, and would be well suited for higher ability students. The'cut and stick' starter could be done in pairs or groups, and could be extended into creating a tension graph and comparing this with other pairs/groups, which could open into a debate. Extension activities to stretch and challenge on the back of the worksheet.
Booklet for students: Origins of the First World War - GCSE Unit 1, Topic 1
Booklet to accompany lessons on GCSE Unit 1, Topic 1: The Origins of the First World War.
(I have also included a tick sheet that students could pop into their folders at the start/end of this topic, which lists the content they have covered and gives them space to colour in or tick the boxes - could be useful for a revision lesson before an assessment?)
