***The download is in correct sequence, but the TES site has a bug which means the preview only has issues**** This lesson looks at Hungary under Soviet rule from 1944 and how the secret speech from Khrushchev led to Imre Nagy and in turn the uprising. This was then crushed by the Soviets. I have used a couple of other Power Points plus my own work to build the content. I thank those who made some of those slides. This is a very content heavy topic so students will likely need the text books to help with the main task. The main task is a picture strip task. Students stick the strip into the margin and then write about the events adding evidence and explanation. I hope it is useful. If you use this resource please share it freely for the benefit of others.

Here is lesson 3 for Jack the RIpper. Year 8. The lesson has an extended alternate task for top set classes. The reading sheet is within the Power Point file. THe personality sheets are an alternative activity, I don’t use it anymore, but it might be of use to you. You could also use it if teaching a longer lesson. I have used other people’s resources to make this and I thank them for their support and contributions. Enjoy.

A lesson looking at Stalin’s policies to modernise Russia. This lesson is intended as either an information hunt or as group packs.

***TES previews do not work properly, the slides appear out of order, the final download is fine*** This lesson looks at the events of the Cuban Missile Crisis. It is built to follow on from a study of The Bay of Pigs. The main tasks are the video with differentiated worksheet and the talking heads activity. Students will need to space out their heads to make room for the speech bubbles. It is intended for the Edexcel spec (Hodder book), but would easily adapt for others. I have made and shared this resource for free. If you modify and/or share it please do so too.

A lesson looking at attempts to kill Adolf Hitler with a focus on the famous Staffenburg plot and tasking the students with planning their own idea, but you go around and point out the holes in the plan to make them refine their thinking. This lesson can be used at either KS3 or GCSE study. Enjoy the lesson. It needs a clip from the movie, which if you don't have can be found on youtube. I made this lesson to be used and shared for free. Please respect this and if you share, share for free.

This lesson is focused on the new Reagan administration and the impact it had on the Soviet Union including the infamous Star Wars project. ***If the preview is out of synch it is a TES issue, the final download file is fine.****< Enjoy. I have used a few bits from other people and tried to refine them together with some of my own to make a lesson more focused on the new GCSE spec (Edexcel). My thanks to those contributors.

In this lesson we look at the key events in the UK (and America) that led to LGBTQ+ rights laws being passed in the UK. For example the Stone Wall Riots and Gays and Lesbian support the miners from 1980s England. The plenary is taken from another person’s TES resource, but the rest has been built by me. I hope you find it useful and share freely. I strongly believe lessons should be shared for free to help the next generation of teachers to succeed.

This lesson looks at the impact of sugar on British society and then goes into an introduction on slavery, what it is and why it happened. I have made this with a combination of my own and resources from others, I thank them for their contributions.

Here is a lesson as part of a study for Year 9 of key events from the Cold War. For average and more able there is a reading comprehension task, for weaker groups a storyboard. The reading is a combination of History.com and a BBC article. I have also attached at the end of the Powerpoint a slide of information I found in another users lesson which might be useful for the weaker ones too. At the end we look at plots to kill Castro as part of Operation Mongoose. For a longer lesson you could have some fun planning your own attempts. A few slides and bits are taken from other peoples resources, thank you for your contributions.

This lesson looks at the various 20th century laws that were introduced to bring about more equality. It has a focus on the Dagenham Women who fought Ford in 1968 over pay and job grading as well as looking at the current issue of the Gender Pay Gap. This lesson is part of a Year 9 unit on equal rights in the UK. The part with the big bits of paper is best done with three pieces of A2 size sugar paper.

These are a series of questions that cover the whole of the GCSE History of Medicine course (new spec). They are intended to be a quick tool for settling/starting a lesson. I put one slide before each lesson of Germany just while the class are arriving, then we discuss them and go onto our new content. I hope they are helpful.

Hi This lesson is about Frank Bright a Jewish man who lives near Ipswich (UK) and survived the ghettos and death camps of the Nazi regime. His story is important and sharing it keeps his experience alive for us to learn from. The class mates cards are simply cut out and one is placed under each child’s book. When we get to the relevant slide they come up and find their person and then as a class we discuss what happened to them and consider what would it be like if it was their class now. I hope that Mr Bright does not mind me sharing his story, from my research on him he seems very keen for his story to keep being told. I also thank those History teachers who first reached out and researched his life to benefit the rest of us.

Revision board games to help students revise Edexcel GCSE History for the courses: Germany 1919-39 (Weimar and Nazi Germany) The History of Medicine medieval to modern The Cold War and Superpower relations 1941-91 Early Elizabethan England. I have made these for GCSE History, but the templates could be easily adapted for languages, science or any other subject. Inspired by ideas I saw on Twitter, but completely made from scratch in Powerpoint. These have been made on A4 size slides so will print out nicely (Battleships works well on A3 too). All of them can be edited and used as templates for further sets of games.
