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.

Peacemaking 1918-19 and the League of Nations - Wilson's 14 Points
PaulMidPaulMid

Peacemaking 1918-19 and the League of Nations - Wilson's 14 Points

(0)
A worksheet with answers for anyone studying peacemaking and the League of Nations. This corresponds to the current AQA GCSE History B specification, however it can also be adapted for any board or age level. This task asks students to match Wilson's original 14 points with simplified versions of each. It then has extension questions on the points. Please rate and leave feedback! Also, please check out my other worksheets on this topic.
Thomas Becket's Murder - Source Assessment
PaulMidPaulMid

Thomas Becket's Murder - Source Assessment

(1)
Source assessment on the murder of Thomas Becket. Quite challenging for Yr 7 pupils, so I would recommend going through one/two sources in class using the Analysis/Evaluation template. Included is the set of 4 sources, a template and a marking grid (that can be adapted to various other assessments). This can be easily differentiated by offering fewer sources or adding more descriptions to the sources.
Coastal Defences
PaulMidPaulMid

Coastal Defences

(0)
Resources relating to a Year 8 Geography lesson on coastal defences. Included is a PowerPoint presentation where students are introduced to the different types of sea defences that are available (encourage comments on cost, appearance, suitability etc.) Students can then use the worksheets to decide how they would defend the coast line of Hornsea (I laminated the map so they could draw on their ideas with whiteboard pens). You could stretch G&T students by applying costs to the different types of defences and giving them a budget, or you could throw a curve ball such as: 'residents have said they do not want sea walls'. These are great resources for introducing coastal defences and students can then begin to compare the benefits/limitations of each.
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)
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.
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.
Word Processing Task
PaulMidPaulMid

Word Processing Task

(0)
A basic word processing task for students who are being introduced to Microsoft Word or for those taking national qualifications that require typing accuracy. Students have to write out a passage of text before formatting it using a set of instructions. Students can be extended by encouraging them to write formatting instructions for their partner or for the rest of the class.
KS2/3 File Management Task
PaulMidPaulMid

KS2/3 File Management Task

(0)
A basic file management task for KS2/KS3. Students have to follow a set of instructions to create/rename/delete folders. They can then be extended by encouraging them to copy/move folders around. These skills are essential in the first few weeks of term so that students keep their work areas tidy. The resource will need to be edited slightly to instruct students to create the folders in their relevant work areas.
Restoration England: Land & Trade
PaulMidPaulMid

Restoration England: Land & Trade

(0)
This resource is relevant to the new AQA GCSE specification on Restoration England, 1660-1685; however, it could be adapted for KS3 or A Level. A clear and simple labeled map of the key overseas locations featured in the new AQA specifications. Students will need to use their prior knowledge (or complete alongside the text book) to label each location and summarise its significance within the course. Each location was a key centre for trade or land; all locations have been explained in depth in the Hodder text book. This would be a great note taking exercise as the book tends to waffle slightly.
AQA History GCSE: Restoration England - Exam Pack
PaulMidPaulMid

AQA History GCSE: Restoration England - Exam Pack

(0)
A selection of exam questions based on the four chapters/sections of the Hodder Restoration England GCSE from AQA. Some of these have come from the specimen papers on the AQA website, whereas others have been created by me (DISCLAIMER: THESE QUESTIONS SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS A PRECISE REFLECTION OF WHAT COULD COME UP IN THE EXAM!) I have also given examples based on the Royal Observatory Environment Study.
Unification of Italy, 1830-1870: The Revolutions of 1848 & 1849
PaulMidPaulMid

Unification of Italy, 1830-1870: The Revolutions of 1848 & 1849

(0)
Handouts and a PowerPoint created in support of the Edexcel AS Level unit: The Unification of Italy, 1830-1870. Included are two blank revision diagrams to allow students to write notes in an ordered way on the 1848 revolutions and why they failed. Ideally this would be blown up to A3 and a map of Italy has been included for reference. Also included is a detailed, completed copy of the 'events' handout using a number of text books. Lower ability students could be given this to support note taking or this could be shown on a projector and talked through in class. I have also included a PowerPoint presentation that can be used as a walkthrough during a lesson on this topic. Please note that as this is an independent learning lesson, the PowerPoint presentation is used for guidance, it does not include all of the answers!
Restoration England: Parliamentary Relations Card Sort
PaulMidPaulMid

Restoration England: Parliamentary Relations Card Sort

(0)
A card sort activity showing the decline of relations between Charles II and Parliament during his reign. Each card gives an example of something that caused tension between the two sides. Students can sort the cards using the instructions on page 2 of the resource. They can then use the cards to answer an exam style question. This is designed for the new AQA GCSE topic: Restoration England, 1660-1685; however, it could be adapted for any KS4/KS5 topic on Charles II.

(0)

This is part of a larger bundle covering the entire unit, which can be purchased from my shop. This resource was originally designed for OneNote teaching; however, it can easily be adapted to exercise book teaching in under 5mins. Simply change the phrase ‘in OneNote’ to ‘in your exercise books’ on the PowerPoint. Both the course textbooks from Hodder and Oxford/Pearson are needed to access some of the activities (however, alternatives can no doubt be found).
