I've been a Secondary School teacher since 2013 and since discovering a passion for designing and creating engaging lessons that students genuinely appreciate, I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else. To date (Aug 2017) I've had over 35,000 people download my work that I have previously uploaded to TES and I've never received lower than 4 stars for my work in my feedback.

Lessons included in scheme of work:
1 of 5 - The Rise of the Lancastrian Kings
2 of 5 - Herstory: Joan of Arc
3 of 5 - The War of the Roses
4 of 5 - The Princes in the Tower Mystery
5 of 5 - The Rise of the Tudors
Additional note: *This lesson purposefully misses the point that Henry VII likely had some involvement in the boys going missing. This point is revealed in the follow up lesson during the Rise of the Tudors.

All lesson PowerPoints, work sheets and information sheets provided. Information has been written for students with a reading age of 12.
The lessons have been carefully designed to take students (Ideally year 7) through the narrative of the War of the Roses step by step. We start by looking at the reign of King Richard II, those students who have covered the Peasants Revolt will be able to recall his actions here and tie together why he was unpopular. From there, we look at the events and actions of the different leaders until we arrive at the Tudor dynasty. The whole scheme should take roughly a half term to work through.
This scheme of work satisfies the National Curriculum:
The development of Church, state and society in Medieval Britain 1066-1509
The Hundred Years War
The Wars of the Roses; Henry VII and attempts to restore stability

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.

I have written a series of lessons promoting powerful female figures in History that predate the Tudors. The thinking was to make my curriculum more inclusive and to improve the gender balance across key stage 3 in terms of the content that is taught. As such, my ‘herstory’ (instead of History) unit is something I’m quite proud of.
The lessons can be taught either in isolation as case studies, embedded into the curriculum taught in year 7 or taught as its own unit of work in its own right.
Lessons include:
Lesson 1 - Boduccia
Lesson 2 - Empress Matilda
Lesson 3 - Eleanor of Aquitaine
Lesson 4 - Joan of Arc
All lessons are written for students with a reading age between 11-12 to ensure accessiblity. All resources are included with the lesson. Lesson can be taught by a non-specialist.

Early Modern c.1500 - c.1700
Industrial Revolution c.1700 - c.1900
Modern c.1900 - c.2000

Lessons included in scheme of work:
1 of 5 - What was the impact of the Treaty of Versailles?
2 of 5 - The Rise and Fall of Hitler
3 of 5 - From Prison to Ultimate Power
4 of 5 - How the Nazis controlled a population
5 of 5 - Life in Nazi Germany Assessment
Enquiry question: Did the Treaty of Versailles make Hitler’s rise to power inevitable?
All lesson PowerPoints, work sheets and information sheets provided. Information has been written for students with a reading age of 12. Assessment is based on the Edexcel GCSE Source Analysis skill set.
This scheme of work has been designed for a year 9 class that has as finished looking at World War 1 and is starting to look at the events leading up to World War 2.
The scheme has been designed to have a human element. I wanted to look at post-1918 Germany through the eyes of every day German citizens to get an understanding about how someone like Hitler was able to take control.
