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.

Popular Culture and the Witch Craze: Witchcraft Acts, 1542-1604

(0)
This resource is intended to be used as part of a much larger bundle for this unit. See my shop for more details. A source-based worksheet for students studying the OCR unit: Popular Culture and the Witchcraze. Students are given extracts from the three Witchcraft Acts of the period (the 1736 Act is not included) and they have to answer questions based on the content. I have not changed the language or spelling contained in the sources as I feel this is an effective way of familiarising students with the study of History through sources. The answers to the questions are relatively straightforward and are contained in the text book.

Popular Culture and the Witch Craze: Witchcraft and the Legal Process

(0)
This content is relevant for the new OCR unit on Popular Culture and the Witch Craze. Using the Access to History text book (or their notes, if being used as a revision exercise) students make notes on the legal process surrounding witchcraft accusations. The first sheet relates to the process in Continental Europe, with the second worksheet being relevant to England. Students can then compare the two processes and suggest reasons why more people were accused/executed for witchcraft on the continent. This resource is intended to be used as part of a much larger bundle for this unit. See my shop for more details.

16 Resources
Several resources relevant to the OCR A Level unit, Popular Culture and the Witchcraze.

These resources are primarily for use as revision aids and possible homework/class activities. As this is a new specification there are no stand-alone units of work out there; however, I hope these resources help!

This resource is intended for use with the new AQA GCSE unit: Restoration England, 1660-1685. Included are two sample mock exams that I have put together.

These mock exams can be used after one Half Term's worth of work. There is no coverage of Wars, Trade or Restoration Culture - these will need to be assessed towards the end of the course.

World Governments Display
PaulMidPaulMid

World Governments Display

(0)
Several resources to create a 'World Governments' display as part of KS3/KS4 History or Politics. Students were introduced to the various forms of government that exist/have existed and then given the task of researching a particular country. They included the flag of the country, basic information and a summary of their type of government. This formed the basis of our Year 9 work on Electoral Reform in Britain. Also included are titles, display questions and other information sheets to add to the display. The only thing required is a map of the world (and, if desired, a summary of the different government types). As our display was quite small I took a map of the world from the internet and enlarged this to A3. I also intend to mark the countries that have been researched on the map, and have the students find which one is which; you could also use string to label each one.
Russia and its Rulers: 1855-1964
PaulMidPaulMid

Russia and its Rulers: 1855-1964

(0)
Revision/Summary table for the OCR Unit 3 topic: Russia and its Rulers, 1855-1964. The idea of this worksheet is to help students plan and write thematic essays. Students need to complete the table by bullet pointing the main social, economic and political events from each period. They then need to colour code the bullet points based on 6 'mini themes' (that are often the focus of exam questions). Using this colour coded system, students should be able to easily spot the trends going through the course and can pull this out when planning an essay question.
Popular Culture and the Witchcraze: Thematic Table
PaulMidPaulMid

Popular Culture and the Witchcraze: Thematic Table

(0)
This resource is intended to be used alongside other resources relating to the OCR A Level topic: Popular Culture and the Witchcraze. This revision table should be used at the very end of the course, or could be completed section-by-section as students work through the content. The table lists the most common themes that feature in the course down one side, with the 3 case studies (+ Europe) appearing along the top. This table will therefore help students when writing thematic questions, as they should ensure that they can draw content from a wide geographical and chronological area.
