Updated for 2022

This bundle contains all of the resources, including information sheets, that you will need to teach the Medieval unit for GCSE History Medicine Through Time. There is no need for any text book and teacher notes are given throughout.
The lessons are as follows:
Lesson 1 - Overview of skills and knowledge
Lesson 2 - Supernatural and Religious Explanations of Disease
Lesson 3 - The Theory of Four Humours, The Theory of Opposites, Miasma
Lesson 4 - Explain the continuity of theories throughout Medieval England

This pack includes:
31 fact sheets for each topic needed for the Edexcel 1-9 Crime and Punishment GCSE History Paper 1 unit. Each fact sheet can be copied into a revision booklet for students or used within your lessons as a replacement for the text book. The amount of detail is high but key points are highlighted throughout for weaker students.
This will make a perfect revision booklet for the students as I find the revision workbooks currently available seem to lack some detail in key areas.
2023 UPDATE: Please note that all images used in this set of resources are in the public domain and copyright free unless stated otherwise in the notes below each slide. Contact me in the first instance if you see any errors.
I have created a 9 lesson fact sheet hand out to go alongside the Edexcel Whitechapel Historical Environment unit needed for Paper 1. I am creating this as an alternative to the Hodder and Pearson text books to allow students of all abilities the advantage of accessing the key information in an organised way at home or in school. This should be a great way to cut out the complex nature of the text book and focus in on the important information for your students.
BONUS RESOURCE Is an A4 printable sheet which includes all of the sources for students to possibly use for the ‘Follow Up’ question
UPDATE 2023: Please note that all images (clipart/vector/illustrations/photographs) are in the public domain and are therefore classed as Creative Commons 1.0 unless otherwise attributed in the notes section of each slide. If you believe there are any errors, please email me directly in the first instance to resolve the issue.
This resource gives students a great overview of the format of the Paper 3 Modern Depth Study exam paper. Students are guided through the main expectations of the paper as well as how to structure each question included in the paper. Example answers and structure tips are provided throughout the presentation.
It is common for teachers to use this resource in the final push towards the exam as a reminder of all the main teaching points or it can be used as part of a ‘Walking, talking mock’ with students.
Please note that all images (clipart/photographs/vectors) used in this presentation, to be best of my knowledge, are copyright free and in the public domain unless otherwise attributed in the links. If you feel any errors have been made please contact me directly in the first instance to resolve the issue. Thank you.
UPDATED RESOURCE 2023
This resource has been specifically designed to support students in their answers to the three main source based questions given in the Edexcel GCSE History exam paper. The one page print out can be used as a book insert while studying a unit, a table top guide as well as a useful revision resource to prepare for exams. Particular attention is given to the ‘How useful’ question which appears in two exam papers.
The three questions covered in the guide are:
Inference - used in Paper 3
Follow Up - used in Paper 1
Source Usefulness - used in both Paper 1 & 3
This resource would also be ideal for the use with students in KS3 as a way to make them familiar with core GCSE History skills.
This bundle contains
Lesson 14 - Detente, SALT 1, Helsinki, SALT 2
Lesson 15 - The Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan
Lesson 16 - President Reagan and the Star Wars Programme
Lesson 17 - Mikhail Gorbachev’s ‘New Thinking’
Lesson 18 - The fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union.
