A good group work project - designed for a Year 9 class. Students are presented with information regarding who JFK was, and his global significance, and the details of the official account as to how he met his end. Students work on a particular popular conspiracy theory in groups of 4-6. Students are encouraged to conduct their own independent research as a homework, and then to present their findings to the rest of the class. Students take notes based on each others presentation, before deciding for themselves on what they believe was the most likely culprit behind the dead of JFK.

Lessons included in scheme of work: 1 of 6 - What was life in Africa like? 2 of 6 - The Middle Passage 3 of 6 - Save auctions and life on the plantations 4 of 6 - Resistance to slave trade 5 of 6 - The abolition of the slave trade 6 of 6 - The Legacy of the slave trade Enquiry question: What was the experience of those enslaved by the Transatlantic slave trade? All lesson PowerPoints, work sheets and information sheets provided. Information has been written for students with a reading age of 12. The scheme of work is designed for students in year 8 and slots neatly between schemes of work on the British Empire and the Industrial Revolution. This scheme of work satisfies the National Curriculum’s need for ’ at least one study of a significant society or issue in world history and its interconnections with other world developments.’ I have put a lot of thought and effort into providing an human experience led scheme of work that looks at the individual struggles of those who were enslaved as well as the international reasons for the slave trades existence.

Students of all ages have enjoyed using the Facebook template worksheet for classroom and homework activities. In the past, the template I had created was based on a Facebook profile from 2012, I realised that students were not engaging with this as much as I’d have liked, hence the update. I have gone to great lengths to make the work sheet as good as possible; for example, I have found and used the official Facebook colour scheme to improve the realism. You are invited to alter the sheet as you see best, I have tended to add a photo/picture for the top banner that would reflect the person the profile is for - but this can be done as an additional task, as could the profile picture.

**A series of A5 revision guides I’ve created for Edexcel Crime and Punishment. Four books in total. Each book focuses on a different era. ** Medieval c.1000 - c.1500 2. Early Modern c.1500 - c.1700 Industrial Revolution c.1700 - c.1900 Modern c.1900 - c.2000 Each book contains the era’s approach to crime, law enforcement and punishment. It also carefully explains why elements are new and which have continued from earlier time periods. Each section of work has mini tasks to go with it in the booklet and has time period specific exam questions at the back of the booklet. These booklets are perfect for revision, catch up when students have been absent from the classroom for a long period of time or even homework.

The Tripadvisior worksheet is a great way for students to engage in multiple perspectives or make use of peer assessment. I have used the Tripadvisor sheet for KS3 History looking at trench warfare, with soldiers complaining about conditions, before having senior command reply to these complaints. I have also used the worksheets in KS4 when addressing Elizabeth Tudor's 'Middle Way' with Catholics and Protestants reviewing a CofE church.

I have taken the content for the Edexcel American West course and reorganised it completely. As the exam questions for on cause and consequence, I’ve re-ordered the information so that it reads as a series of chronological stories. The revision guide has been written for someone with a reading age of 13 to support low ability learners. I have not ommitted any of the historical content to achieve this. The guide contains a number of written tasks at the end of each working section that are framed on Blooms Taxonomy. Designed to be printed as an A5 booklet This will make an ideal revision guide for your Ks4 group, or could work as a homework booklet to support understanding.
