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).

This lesson is designed as a skills building case study to help introduce the Normans unit. Pupils will be introduced to life in Saxon England and the power of the house of Godwin. They will build towards answering a how useful question to embed paper one and paper three skills. Gives later opportunity to compare when analysing the control of William. Edward didn’t raise taxes or take land from the earls, so a good link to allow pupils to understand why Saxons were so upset and angry following 1066.

This follows a lesson I have posted about the Treaty of Versailles. Pupils will examine sources in small groups through use of a carousel activity where each group adds to the last groups ideas (making it harder as they progress around the room and meaning they have to pick out smaller features of sources). They will then use this skill to analyse a skill themselves, before feedback to the class (AFL slide included). Following this pupils attempt a fully differentiated how useful question with options for two different structure strips and either two sources or one. Once completed pupils peer assess their work to explain what is good about their work and how they can move forwards next time they see that question type.
