A set of ten knowledge organisers to assist teaching and revision of the Edexcel GCSE History unit, Medicine Through Time, 1250-present. The design is inspired by the current dual-coding trend but also clearly organises the information to help students think clearly about the topic.

This is a 9-10 lesson scheme of work on medieval medicine, c.1250-1500. It is designed to be used in line with the Edexcel GCSE specification. Each folder has lesson resources and worksheets from the workbook I have designed and used with my GCSE students. The lessons are as follows: What is the ‘big story’ of medicine through time? What was life like in medieval England? What did medieval folk believe caused disease? How was disease prevented in the medieval period? Where did medieval folk go for treatment? How did medieval folk react to the Black Death? Medieval Medicine Revision/Summary Q4 (12) Practice - Explain why there was little progress in medicine during the Middle Ages. Nb - some of the activities on my worksheets rely on the Hodder textbook, Medicine in Britain.

This is a scheme of work I have designed which asks: How far was English royal power challenged in the medieval period? In this unit students will explore the nature of English royal power in the medieval era and how this was challenged by the Church, the barons, and even the peasantry. The aim is to expose students to the nature of government in England so that they can see how this changes as they progress through the year. The main disciplinary concept involved here is change and continuity. Students will be analysing how the power of the English monarchy changed as it was challenged by the Church, the barons and the peasantry. The analysis of this key theme will also involve some causation. There are opportunities to explore interpretations too such as that of King John. The lessons are: How important was the Church in Medieval England? How powerful were English kings in the 12th century? Why did Henry II agree to be whipped? Does King John deserve criticism for eroding the power of the monarchy? How did Magna Carta limit the power of the monarchy? What were the origins of Parliament? Did the peasantry successfully challenge the king in 1381? Assessment - ‘The power of England’s monarchy was barely challenged during the medieval era.’ How far do you agree?

This is a scheme of work to support the teaching of the Edexcel GCSE History: Medicine in Britain unit, Renaissance Medicine, 1500-1700. Each folder contains a lesson complete with presentation and worksheets from my workbook that I use with my GCSE students. The lessons are as follows: Intro to Renaissance Medicine How far did views on disease change during the Renaissance? (Thomas Sydenham) How far had care of the sick changed by 1700? Q3 Model and Practice What was the impact of Andreas Vesalius? What was the impact of William Harvey? Q5/6 Model and Practice Renaissance Medicine Summary and Revision Nb - some of my activities rely upon access to either Hodder or Pearson textbooks on Medicine in Britain, 1250-present

A scheme of work comprising 6-8 lessons (depending on how you want to approach it) based on the enquiry, Why did World War I break out in 1914? It is aimed at KS3 students.

This is a unit of work for Edexcel’s GCSE History - Early Elizabethan England, 1558-88 KT2 on Challenges at Home and Abroad. It comprises around 12 lessons and includes opportunities for exam practice. One or two lessons are reliant on extracts from documentaries (eg: History of Scotland and Battlefield Britain) which I have removed for copyright reasons, but can be found available online on sites like Youtube.

This is a unit of work for Edexcel’s GCSE History unit Early Elizabethan England, 1558-88 KT3 on Elizabethan Society. It comprises around 8 lessons with each lesson including a PPT as well as supporting worksheets. It may seem like there a quite a few and this is because this particular unit was delivered via workbooks but not all are needed to deliver the unit. I would recommend having access to the Hodder textbook on Early Elizabethan England to support delivery of these resources.

A unit of work for Key Topic 1 of Edexcel’s GCSE History unit, Early Elizabethan England, 1558-88. The unit is on Queen, Government and Religion and comprises around 9 lessons including some exam practice. Each lesson contains a PPT and worksheets which could be made into a booklet if you desired.

This is an activity where students use fictional interviews between John Snow and residents of Soho Square to explain the anomalies in the data during the 1854 cholera epidemic. Best printed as a double-sided colour sheet.

Revision sheets designed for GCSE Medicine lessons where students study key individuals in the Industrial era of medicine. The sheets allow students to consolidate their knowledge of these key individuals and get them to think about the impact by considering the ‘before’ and ‘after’ of that individual’s breakthrough. The individuals include: Edward Jenner John Snow James Simpson Louis Pasteur Robert Koch Florence Nightingale Joseph Lister Ignaz Semmelweiss

Based on Greg Thornton’s (@MrThorntonTeach) ‘An Intro To…’ idea, I’ve made a Causes of WWI version to help you think about the key ideas, events and interpretations when it comes to planning to teach the outbreak of World War I.

An A3 revision sheet which students can use to revise Medicine, 1900- It covers: Causes Diagnosis Development of antibiotics NHS Prevention Case Study: Lung Cancer

Inspired by Dan Warner-Meanwell’s Source Utility Checklist, I have made an Interpretation Checklist which can be used in a very similar way. Students should read both interpretations and write about the views given in each interpretation but also use the statements in the middle to think about what the author of each focuses on. Could be used as a teacher-led practice task or extension done independently.

A collection of worksheets based on David Hibbert’s ideas of ‘arpeggios.’ These are activities that allow students to practice a specific skill for the exam by mirroring the thinking that goes into a specific task. This will enable students to practice thinking about their approach to exam questions without having to spend lots of time planning and writing them. I have created a bank of activities for Edexcel GCSE History questions that are above 4 marks including: Paper 1 Qs 4 and 5/6 Paper 2 Qs 1b, 1c and 1, 2, 3. Paper 3 Qs 2, 3b, 3c and 3d. For the source utility 8-marker, I recommend Dan Warner-Meanwell’s source utility checklist.

A short scheme of work (4 lessons including mini-assessment) centered around the enquiry, What really happened after the Romans left Britain? It is based on a scheme created by @hannahcustworth which explores the ‘traditional’ interpretations of post-Roman Britain and a new, interesting interpretation from Susan Oosthuizen, allowing you to incorporate rigour and scholarship into your curriculum. There are four fully-resourced lessons including a mini-assessment lesson and a topic overview which may be useful for non-specialists in your department. It does rely on parts of the following texts: Usborne History of Britain Knowing History: Medieval Britain by Robert Peal Emergence of the English by Susan Oosthuizen is also referred to.
