Mock and Feedback Lesson (American West (Edexcel 9-1))
An American West mock that follows the new specification, questions cover a breadth of knowledge and target pupils to answer questions about key developments of the unit. I plan to deliver this half way through teaching (after cattle industry) and will follow it with another at the end of the unit.
There is a full feedback lesson included that focuses on pupils ability to answer and understand the examination questions, could be used as a walking talking mock for GCSE revision.
In addition, there is a narrative account homework included (differentiated) to link to the last task.

REVISION STARTER ACTIVITIES: Entire unit quizzes, Anglo-Saxon and Norman England (Edexcel 9-1)
These quizzes have been designed as 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 tasks to drop into other lessons.
The idea is to use them as a way to interleave prior knowledge into current topics and ensure that knowledge is returned to frequently to develop knowledge retention.
The 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 structure gives students instant formative assessment in which they can then choose a topic to ‘pledge’ to revise that week as part of their homework. Every quiz has a green pen slide with answers to go through with students to support the teacher.
Students find these tasks very fun and engaging and can see where their strengths and weaknesses across a topic lie.
I have designed the task to revise important concepts briefly at least once by the time they have completed all of the starter activities. The activities could also be used as a building block to help students identify what they will be doing for the rest of the lesson (to be used closer to exams when completing revision tasks).

REVISION CLOCK ANGLO-SAXON AND NORMAN ENGLAND ( Edexcel 9-1: Anglo Saxon and Norman England)
The concept of a revision clock is that pupils spend five minutes completing each section - thus meaning they revise a large amount of a single topic in an hour.
this resource includes two revision clocks, i plan to provide my pupils with it printed double sided, they will complete one side in class and one side for homework.
I have based these clocks largely on the Pearson purple revision guides, the clock follows the pages from front to back.
Another technique is to ask pupils to fill out what they know in one colour, and then use a second colour to revise using a revision guide or textbook, giving them a colour coded guide to what they need to focus their revision on.
