These revision cards cover all the key factors and concepts that you will need to know about the First World War. If you are looking for a fun, interactive revision game that can be used as a starter or plenary, then this resource for you! It particularly good at injecting a bit of competition which will draw in some of those under achieving students, especially the boys who might be very good at learning key facts via a game. They can also be used by students as revision flash cards. There are three main ways that you can use them. Game 1 involves getting students to read out the key words until the other guesses the topic correctly. Game 2 involves additional challenge and stretch by getting students to describe the topic without using any of the key words on the card. The third game, which adds an additional layer of fun or challenge involves playing a round of Pictionary or Charades. I normally give my students 3 minutes of each round to help activate the learning and warm up the class. You could also have a freestyle round where students decide which game they want to play linked to their learning style. If you are trying to engage some under achieving boys, add some competition and get them to keep score in the back of their books. I would recommend printing them off on card and getting your students to cut them out. Then put the cards into an envelope for class use. If you are a student then keep them in your pocket and use them as a flash card to help you learn the key facts, If there is a term that you do not understand then as your teacher or do some extra research. From a revision perspective, you can print off the cards and get your students to learn the key words for a test or for their exams. These are a win, win resource. The kids will love them and they will help to improve your results. If you like this resource then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop.

This unit is designed to build upon the previous module by examining in depth the history of Conisbrough Castle. It will allow students to look at the strategic decisions that were taken to site the castle, its impact on the local area as well as to look in detail at how it was built and aspects of everyday medieval life. This module is also designed to fulfil the requirements of the new KS3 National Curriculum order for history by doing a depth study of an aspect of local history. However, it should be noted that all the modules that are taught at KS3 are in some way linked back to local history as well as contextualised with references to the modern world. The main resources for this module have been developed over the years by the history department in cooperation with the Mexborough Heritage Society, the Ivanhoe Trust, English Heritage and Becta. In 2001 the Virtual Tour of Conisbrough Castle was given a national teaching award by Becta for the innovative use of ICT. I have also included all the relevant lesson resources that are mentioned in the scheme of work as well as my award winning booklet on Conisbrough Castle, which has embedded a wide range of differentiated activities. My students always enjoy this module which centers on a unique grade 1 listed building which is a world heritage site. Check out the videos on You Tube of Conisbrough Castle. I have included some of my own video clips taken on my phone. Kind Regards Roy

This excellent resource can used to suit a range of learners both in lower and upper school. Dingbats make an excellent starter, mini plenary or plenary to help spice up the learning and help students learn important key words, concepts and facts through a series of card games. I usually get my students to play one of the following games: Game 1: Read out the key words until your partner or group have guessed the topic at the top of the card. Game 2: Try and describe the topic without using the key words until your partner has correctly guessed the topic. Game 3: Describe the topic using Pictionary Game 4: Describe the topic using charades I usually add an element of competition by getting my students to keep a score of how well they have done in the back of their books. You’d be amazed at seriously they take the competitive element, but this all helps to serve the greater good by engraining the key words and concepts that they need to learn for this topic. Another great way of using this resource is to give out one card and ask individuals or groups to prepare a discussion or a talk for 4 minutes on the topic card. Again this helps to improve their speaking and listen skills and by default their ability to write about the topic. If you like this resource you want to check out my TES shop of follow ‘The History Academy’ on twitter, Facebook or Google Plus. We even have our own YouTube channel with free videos to download.

This outstanding resource is designed to help students analysing the key reasons why it was difficult to maintain law and order in the American West. It is followed up by a thinking skills review triangle activity to help students decide which factor was the most important. Both activities can be used as a revision exercise, starter or plenary and will work along side any main stream text book or resource on the American West. The first resource entitled ‘Card Sort - Why was law and order a problem in the West?’, includes five headings under which the students can sort the rest of the cards. These are political, social, economic, geographical, values and attitudes. The rest of the resource then includes 11 cards which can be matched to the headings. Once the cards have been sorted, the students should then be able to move onto the review triangle activity. This is best done in pairs or groups, with one person from each group feeding back their results onto the IWB and explaining their choice. The results from the review triangle and the card sort can then be used, along with any of your other classroom resources, as a basis for students writing an essay or extended piece of writing on this topic.

This great resources has successfully engaged students of all abilities for over 24 years. It was the number one download on the website www,schoolhistory.co.uk. This much loved resource has been updated and tweaked so that it is accessible for the full ability range. The worksheet comes in two sections. The first looks at the traditional story of the Gunpowder Pot as it has been taught to school children for hundreds of years. I have created a series of questions and activities aimed at foundation and core students that helps them to study an old Victorian school history book version. This is a great exercise to help students appreciate how history has been taught in the past. The next section looks a the revisionist version of the Gunpowder Plot and gives students a series of contemporary sources and secondary research by historians to help them decide whether Guy Fawkes was innocent or guilty. The activity aims to get them to draw a table to help them analyse the information before having a go at writing a newspaper report from either a Catholic or Protestant stand point on what happened. If you like this resource, then I have produced a PowerPoint and series of card sorts,which may want to download separately or in the bundled version of this resource entitled the Gunpowder Plot, 1605. The aims and objectives are: Theme: What were the consequences of the break with Rome? Know: What happened during the Gunpowder Plot?

If you have access to a class set of iPads then I have also uploaded an apply version to my TES shop. When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a single sheet, Microsoft Word document that you can easily customise if you wish. The document includes aims, instructions and seven challenges that Native Americans faced and the matching solutions that they came up. Once students have cut out the cards and correctly sorted them under the heading cards for challenges and solutions, they can extend their understanding further by sorting them into their order of importance before sticking them into their books and attempting the extended question. The aims and objectives of this lesson are: Theme: What was the American West? Know: What challenges faced Native Americans on the Great Plains? Understand: How did the Plains Indians overcome these challenges? Analyse: How suited was the lifestyle of the Native Americans to their environment? WILF: What Am I looking For? Identify and describe: What challenges faced the Plains Indians? Explain: How did Native Americans adapt to meet these challenges? Analyse: How successfully did Native Americans adapt to suit the challenges in their environment? If you like this resource then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop. You can also follow ‘The History Academy’ on Twitter, Google Plus, YouTube and Facebook for the latest updates or even to get in touch and chat about how you have used this resource or to ask questions. We aim to produce cheap and affordable resources for either the price of a good cup of coffee so that you can spend more time doing the things that you want. Anyway, have fun and stay in touch via social media for the latest updates. Kind Regards Roy
