A very useful resource to give to Year 8 pupils before completing the above task. A typical level 2,4,6 and 8 response is given in the resource. Pupils can identify the differences between the level descriptions and then will know what they have to do to get the top level. Useful when moderating too. An excellent Assessment for Learning technique.
A simple tops and tails exercise looking at the four individuals involved in the drama that followed the death of Edward the Confessor and their statements revealing why they think they should be the next king. The four individuals on this activity are Tostig, Harold, Harald and William. Can be used as part of a lesson or given as a revision exercise.
A guide to hand to Year 8 pupils who are completing a project investigating why Mary, Queen of Scots was executed. Written in a question format with advice on key words expected to be used and some source analysis tips.
WHEN PUPILS JOIN MY CLASS IN YEAR 7, I ASK THEM TO INTRDUCE THEMSELVES TO ME AND TO TELL ME SOMETHING INTERESTING ABOUT THEMSELVES. THIS IS A GOOD WAY OF GETTING TO KNOW THE CLASS. AFTER THIS I TELL THE PUPILS THAT I DON'T ACTUALLY BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT THEY HAVE TOLD ME. THEIR HOMEWORK IS TO BRING IN A SHOE BOX OF EVIDENCE (A WIDE VARIETY) IN THE NEXT LESSON TO PROVE AS MANY THINGS ABOUT THEMSELVES AS POSSIBLE.
WHEN THE NEXT LESSON COMES ALONG, ASK THE PUPILS TO HAND THEIR BOX TO SOMEONE IN THE CLASS THAT THEY DON'T KNOW THAT WELL. THAT PERSON THEN HAS TO FIND OUT ALL THEY CAN ABOUT THE PERSON USING THE EVIDENCE ALONE. IF TIME ALLOWS YOU CAN ASK THE PUPILS TO ATTEMPT TO PUT THE EVIDENCE INTO CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER. THIS THEN LEADS ON NICELY TO DISCUSSING THE PROBLEMS WITH SOME EVIDENCE. PUPILS THEN COMPLETE THIS WORKSHEET. BRING YOUR OWN BOX IN TOO! PUPILS LOVE THIS ACTIVITY!
Some notes suiting those studying WJEC A Level History and Tudor Rebellion. A brief reminder looking at how the rebellion of Rhys ap Gruffydd was a success and then a look at the limitations of the rebellion. May help with the revision of the rebellion.
This bundle contains everything you need to teach the history of policing: an information booklet for students; a PowerPoint with activities built in; a test for pupils to do which covers all possible questions and sheets with all the answers on for them to learn prior to the test and for the exam.
I created this activity for pupils who lived in the Mynydd Mawr area of south west Wales, near Llanelli. Whilst this was an excellent activity to do with the pupils from this area, it could be used for anyone studying the impact of coal. There are activities included which encourage pupils to think and communicate. I also took the pupils to the Big Pit as part of this investigation. If you like this activity please review my work!
