I have a wealth of resources that are aimed primarily at KS4 and KS5; however, there are some useful KS3 tasks that have been uploaded this year. Topics at KS5 include: Russia and its Rulers, 1855-1941; Later Tudors, 1547-1603; Popular Culture and the Witchcraze of the 16th and 17th Centuries; Italian Unification, 1830-1870; and Germany, 1890-1990. As well as History, I also have a few resources relating to Geography and ICT that some users may find helpful.

Included are worksheets on measuring weather, air pressure and basic fieldwork. Please rate and comment, as all feedback is appreciated.

Opposition to the Tsarist Regime

(0)
Detailed diagrams explaining Marxism and the various opposition groups that emerged before 1905. Also included are handouts on early opposition to Alexander II, Alexander III and Nicholas II. These resources would be really useful for A Level courses dealing with any period between 1855 and 1905.

Russia 1894-1941 Revision Dominoes

(0)
A set of 22 revision dominoes for the OCR Russia course, 1894-1941. Can also be used for any course covering the fall of the Tsarist Regime, Lenin and Stalin. Really useful as a starter activity - hand one domino to each pupil and have them read out the date, this should start a chain reaction around the room. My class always want to beat their time! There are lots more dates and events that can be added; however, this is a useful starting point.

Detailed resources covering the entire OCR unit! Various resources covering the required content for OCR's Later Tudors unit including a detailed Scheme of Work. Included are worksheets, revision aids, diagrams and detailed handouts. Topics covered include religion, foreign policy and social unrest in the reigns of Edward, Mary and Elizabeth. (N.B. I have included Elizabethan foreign policy resources to enhance wider understanding, as this does not feature in the new spec).

History Handbook Template
PaulMidPaulMid

History Handbook Template

(0)
A detailed History Handbook that can easily be tweaked to suit your school's Department. Included is information on relevant policies and I have highlighted in red the things that will need to be tweaked/filled in to make this document relevant to your school. This is an extensive document (30 pages, hence the price) that took a long time to put together. I have left in marking grids and SOW that I feel could be useful. I hope this is helpful!

The Witch Craze in Europe
PaulMidPaulMid

The Witch Craze in Europe

13 Resources
A number of materials that are ideally suited for A Level students. The resources can be adapted to suit either OCR or Edexcel exam boards; however, they have been specifically designed for OCR. They could also be used as part of the introductory work for a Historical Enquiry (coursework). Included are Powerpoint presentations and resources on the witch craze. These are intended to be used alongside the Access to History text book (for Edexcel and OCR)
Popular Culture and the Witch Craze: Causes of the Witch Craze
PaulMidPaulMid

Popular Culture and the Witch Craze: Causes of the Witch Craze

(0)
Two resources to be used alongside other worksheets on the causes of the witchcraze. The first is a list of several causes that have been put forward for the witch hunts. Students will each take one and try to explain it on paper, the cards will then rotate around. Students can rank the causes by how convincing they find the explanations. Secondly is a summary table of the causes for witch hunting. Using the activity above, students can fill in their tables. This content is relevant for the new OCR unit on Popular Culture and the Witch Craze. This resource is intended to be used as part of a much larger bundle for this unit. See my shop for more details.
Geography Fieldwork - Microclimates
PaulMidPaulMid

Geography Fieldwork - Microclimates

(0)
Included are various resources relating to microclimates that formed part of our field work in Year 7 Geography. Students review how to measure the weather, are introduced to microclimates and then label a diagram. Other resources are for use on the day of the field work, where students walk around the school grounds to pre-determined location to measure the weather; they then think about land use and make decisions. I have also included an 'Exploring Microclimates' PDF provided by School Grounds UK/Learning Through Landscapes. This gives instructions on how to carry out microclimate field work.
Earth's Story
PaulMidPaulMid

Earth's Story

(0)
A challenging worksheet focusing on 'Earth's Story' and what order things first appeared on Earth. This was used as an introductory lesson in Year 7 Geography; however, it could certainly be incorporated into Science SOW on Evolution, or as an introductory History lesson on chronology! The first half of the worksheet is relatively straightforward; however, some students may need supporting with the final question (Earth's story as a 24hr clock) as it is a tricky concept for some to get their heads around.
Formation of Glaciers
PaulMidPaulMid

Formation of Glaciers

(0)
Two worksheets on the formation of glaciers and the difference between erosion, transportation and deposition. These resources are to be used in conjunction with the Geog.1 unit on Glaciers for Year 7 pupils (however, it can certainly be adapted for other age groups). Also included is a revision song on glaciers to the tune of 'Merry Christmas, Everyone!' (It's a Glacier, Everyone! - It helped that it was Christmas time...) This is such a tricky topic to teach, so any opportunity to get pupils using the key terms is useful.
Geological Time
PaulMidPaulMid

Geological Time

(0)
Brief PowerPoint presentation on geological time to be used alongside the Geog.1 text book for Year 7 pupils (although, it could be adapted for a Science lesson on evolution). Students are asked to define 'eon' and 'era' and use their traffic light pages in their planners to answer questions on a timeline digram (found in the text book). I've also included a lesson plan.
Rivers Keywords and Flood Defences
PaulMidPaulMid

Rivers Keywords and Flood Defences

(0)
Resources to be used as part of a Year 7 Geography lesson on flooding/flood defences. Small groups of students are each given a card with a reason for flooding; they must explain in their groups why that factor may increase/decrease the risk of flooding (then rotate the cards and feedback as a class). I have included an information sheet to be given out alongside this (can easily be turned into a gap fill!) Also included is a PowerPoint presentation with the different types of flood defences. Students can complete a comparison table of each defence based on its cost, lifespan, appearance etc. and rank the defences.
Sketch Maps - Theme Parks
PaulMidPaulMid

Sketch Maps - Theme Parks

(0)
Resources relating to a Year 7 Geography lesson on sketch maps. Included alongside the lesson plan is a PowerPoint presentation. Students have to review the features of a map using the coloured pages in their books and sketch maps are then introduced. As an activity/homework, students create their own sketch maps of a theme park, adding in various symbols and making it visually appealing/informative. I printed off a couple of maps of Alton Towers/Thorpe Park to pass around the class (as shown on the PowerPoint), so students could see the level of detail (or lack of it) they needed.
Coastal Erosion and Deposition
PaulMidPaulMid

Coastal Erosion and Deposition

(0)
Various resources from a Year 8 topic on Coasts (but could be adapted for any KS3 Geography class). Included are PowerPoint presentations (with diagrams, photos, links to animations and questions) on landforms created by erosion/deposition. Also included are two worksheets: the first is a quick starter where students need to match up the processes of erosion with the description; the second is a homework task on erosion, where students have to provide longer responses.
