Industrial Revolution: Now including an online self-marking homework task From a Scheme of Work on the Industrial Revolution. Target is KS3 but all assessments throughout are GCSE and use Edexcel criteria. Each lesson contains a lesson plan, quick start guide, printable resources, mini plenaries, challenge questions, mark schemes, writing frames, lots of differentiation, a nice mix of activity types and a lesson specific EAL activity sheet. There are 14 lessons in total, but each lesson has enough material to last 2 or 3 lessons for even high ability classes. Most lessons include some high-level source analysis. The lessons also include a link to a site hosting a self-marking End of Unit quiz and a revision guide which make for nice homework activities. The SOW has been used for several years (with continual updates and improvements) at a very successful History department in an outstanding school. If used at KS3 it also acts as a grounding for any History of Medicine modules they might encounter at KS4 (hence the focus on public health and inventions). The SOW covers the following topics: Introduction to the Industrial Revolution (free) Population Boom (free) Factories Coal Mining Transport Robert Stephenson Industrial Revolution inventors Child Labour Public Health Problems Public Health Solutions & Government Intervention Source Question on the Big Stink Luddites British Empire Source Question on Empire Revision Guide & EAL activities.

I use this at my school to send to non-specialists that may have been given an ICT/Computer Science cover at short notice. Just makes sure the lesson is used productively but also places very few demands on the cover teacher. It has: A literacy/numeracy and keyword starter. A brief piece of context. Links to SIX free online coding games/sites that the students can complete. Each site comes with its own tutorials and explainer videos so most students can access them straight away. A simple post-it note plenary. Hope it helps.

China: Conflict, Crisis and Change 1900 – 1989. Designed for the Edexcel IGCSE Breadth Study but features a wide range of activities and approaches, and is in depth enough, that makes it excellent for all China history courses. It is a standalone SOW (e.g. you don’t need to refer to a text book) and each lesson is self-contained, with all the information and resources required to deliver at least a Good rated lesson if not an Outstanding one. Assessment & activity types are introduced and revisited based on a retrieval grid to ensure maximum learning and imbedding of skills and knowledge. Each lesson is estimated to take 45-60 minutes to complete but in my experience many can stretch over 2 or even 3 lessons depending on teacher judgement. Each lesson features as a minimum: Numeracy & Literacy challenges. Keywords (to add to a student glossary). EAL support sheets. Stretch and challenge activities. Teacher Quick Start Guide. Literacy support mats. Homework extension task mats. Context slide for the lesson. Part 1: Lessons included: Intro to China & Course Set Up. (with online self-marking quiz) Boxer Rebellion Causes & Events Boxer Rebellion Consequences & Reforms The 1911 Revolution 4th May Movement Sun Yet-Sen, Chiang Kai-Shek & Guomindang Recap Lesson 1: 1900 – 1926 (with online self-marking quiz) The United Front & The Communist Party Expeditions, Massacres and Exterminations 1926 – 1934 Recap lesson 2: 1926 – 1934 (with online self-marking quiz) The Long March 1934-35 Consequences of the Long March

1066 and the aftermath of conquest - featuring a unique immersive interactive Learning World (free to play!). The Learning World feeds directly into the in class lesson activities and can be used as an ongoing homework project – students can complete the free codex booklet as they go to consolidate learning. It is a very comprehensive SOW that covers the Norman conquest and its impact on English society. Each and every lesson has been made with enough differentiation, activity variety, cross-curricular support and progress checks that they could be used comfortably ‘out of the box’ in an observation lesson. Care has also been taken to make sure the skills complement each other across the SOW and build up to progress in exam writing ability, source analysis and soft skill development. I’m quite proud of it – if I may say so! The first two lessons and the Learning World Codex are free to download From my experience it created a huge ‘buzz’ about learning in the classroom and I even had kids in other classes asking to use it. So soon the whole department were using it and at KS3 parent’s evening it was all the parents talked about – many of them had also played through the Learning World. Note: The Learning World is a ‘beta’ version – I am currently looking for someone to upgrade the artwork to make a few things look more ‘Normany’. But I guarantee the pupils will love it.

A task to last a few lessons. Students to watch a video by the Economist on how 5 experts would spend $1bn to ‘save the oceans’ and then expand the task themselves to create a business plan for how to spend $qbn to save the earth. A template helps them structure their research and present their projects to the class. To tie in with Dubai COP28 but can be used at any time - of for any COP. I doubt they’ll agree to save the world anytime soon, so I imagine this lesson can be reused and recycled again and again :) Wolsey Academy, a non-profit resource provider, directs all profits to various charities, including refugee support, youth sports, educational programs, and carbon capture, achieving a carbon-negative status.
