Quick revision sheets (11 separate revision activities) for Year 7 History. Designed to be used as a settling and quick revision activity at the beginning of lessons, but could also be used as a homework activity and exam revision (or even exam questions). Relates to the Ancient World Overview, Investigating the Ancient Past and Mediterranean World: Egypt topics.

Part of the 9 History Overview- a variety of lesson activities including drawing of student's own abstract world map, thinking, cause and effect etc. Focuses on key student skills and concepts with a student reflection at the end. Quality activities that translate to real-life skills (what we are really aiming for as teachers), but provided without fee in the interests of student learning and teacher collegiality.

Information and a range of student activities related to religion in Pompeii and Herculaneum including questions, student research and analysis of artwork for the symbolic meaning.

An end of year activity I put together from an amalgam of online resources and my own additions . Great as an end of year History/craft activity/ hands-on history activity where students learn about Roman mosaics, engage in related thinking and discussion and then make their own using paper. Simple material required- white paper plus a variety of other coloured papers. I have used it with great success with Yr 7 but it would also work for younger students and students up to Year 9 .

Scaffold for source analysis senior History Stage 6 Modern History or Ancient History with a focus on assessing perspective, reliability and usefulness.

Class activity for teaching "Big idea" concepts such as social justice in History, Geography and English using the "Hunger Games" movie/stories. No definite need to show these movies if students have already seen the movies or read the books (and they will almost certainly have done so), but it could be an option to read/view if needed).

Presentation with questions case study Belgians in the Congo for Yr 11 Modern History 'World at the Beginning of the 20th Century' topic.

Visual glossary of some of the key architecture terminology of Pompeii and Herculaneum (does not include the Forum or temples). Students should be able to identify these features and use the terminology in context. Most images taken on a recent visit to Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Questions/activities to be used in conjunction with the movie 'Pompeii' (2014)- nice as an end of year activity to complement studies of Ancient Romans. Intended for 7 History (with appropriate parental permission for the movie), but could be adapted for other year groups. This works best as an adjunct to more comprehensive study of ancient Rome preceding this movie.

A simple idea but one that can lead to several lessons of solid collaborative work from students as they plan and create a video or other presentation with a positive message- great as an end of term project; could be adapted to almost any subject but Geography, History and English are obvious ones for this.

Foundational information for Year 11 students of Ancient History- how artefacts are preserved.

Information, cloze activity and related questions and activities (updated) about the religion of the Aztecs.

Information and matching activity for the food and dining of Romans in Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Tutorial and related activities on the Geography of China and the influences of environment on the development of civilisation. This information also makes connections with the Mediterranean World: Egypt topic in terms of environmental influence upon culture.

Aust. Curriculum Yr 8 History Vikings- Geography of the Viking homelands activity requires students to read about the Geography and then use the information to create their own map of the Viking homelands using the outline provided.

This worksheet is designed to be used in conjunction with the movie King Arthur starring Clive Owen and Keira Knightly and a range of other King Arthur resources available on TES Australia as mentioned. It has been designed as a brief end of course extra topic for Year 11 History in the event that the course is finished before the end of Year Term 3 Year 11 given that students are not permitted to commence the Year 12 course until Term 4. Note that the movie is suitable only for Year 11 and 12 students and only with appropriate permission according to school policy due to its MA15+ rating.

Learning activities relating to the American Civil Rights Movement as part of Yr 10 History core Rights and Freedoms topic. I recommend doing American Civil Rights before Australian Aboriginal Rights in this unit because they in many ways inspired the Civil Rights Movement in Australia and doing the US first helps to provide a broader context.
