10 BALL GAMES: SUBVERSIVE TEACHING IN 21ST CENTURY. We innovate, constantly. We see the extraordinary in the everyday. We know that real education is about feeding the soul, not just passing exams. We sometimes see children with problems, we don't see children as problems. We re-draw the boundaries of the possible. We survive, despite the slings and arrows of outrageous policy. Freely sharing resources gives us time to do these things. Please help yourself, and play on.

Edward VI - spaced learning overview activity

Edward VI - spaced learning overview activity

(1)
Although this is all on one powerpoint, I used it in 2 halves, as an intro to Somerset and then as an intro to Northumberland. Spaced learning works on the principle of repeating an activity to enhance recall. I do the first run through explaining the content. then there is a 5 minute break for juggling (or simon says, or…) then we repeat - they give as much info as they can and I clarify through questions or reminders break 3rd and final run through they have to give me all of it - I sometimes run this as a competition ‘me vs. them’ - every time I have to tell them something they lose a point from a starter of 10 and I gain one from a starter of 0. Lastly they need to test themselves independently - you can do this by a written ‘quiz’ or by giving them a copy of the ppt slides and requiring them to annotate them

Exercise to encourage collaborative learning and to develop analytical essay writing skills. Class is split in half. Each half has different interpretation (Haig was / was not a terrible leader of the allied forces) These teams collect evidence into a table under 3 headings. Then pairs are made - 1 from each interpretation. Using guidance given, they write an analytical answer exploring the extent to which Haig deserves the title 'the butcher of the Somme'.

Inspired by the idea of learning grids (See Outstanding teaching Engaging Learners by Andy Griffith and Mark Burns, p38), this game contains all the key events of the period from 1524-1534 - the King's Great Matter (quest for an annulment) to the Act of Supremacy. Rules for the game are included. The objectives are to recap key events and to link ideas together. A summary of events in the years 1524-1534 (pertinent to the annulment/supremacy) is also included.
