This is a resource designed to accompany the first few lessons of depth study 1 for the ‘Lancastrians, Yorkists and Henry VII, 1399-1590’ course. It is designed to accompany a purchase of the Pearson textbook for the course by Dr Helen Carrel. This resource aligns to the first three lessons of depth study 1 that I have uploaded to TES.

The first lesson for the first depth study on the ‘Lancastrians, Yorkists and Henry VII’ A-level course for Edexcel. The lesson provides comprehensive coverage of the course content, as well as going beyond the specification to provide stretch for high-attaining students. It is strongly encouraged that this resource is used in conjunction with the flipped learning workbooks also uploaded to TES.

A comprehensive lesson resource looking at the current standing of the Liberal Democratic Party as well as its historical and ideological groundings. This lesson also incorporates a consideration of liberalism as an area of consideration to apply to the evolution of the party, potentially offering stretch and challenge questioning as you cover the evolution of the party.

A comprehensive lesson resource looking at the current standing of the Labour Party as well as its historical and ideological groundings. This lesson also incorporates a consideration of populism as an area of consideration to apply to the most recent leadership of Jeremy Corbyn.

A lesson that looks in depth at the impact of social class on voting behaviour. The PowerPoint presentation covers the following areas: A definition of key terms on voting behaviour (not comprehensive, however a good start for the unit) A comprehensive definition of what is meant by ‘class’ An evaluation of the extent to which class affects voting behaviour A short consideration of the context that has affected the impact of class on voting behaviour more recently Alongside the presentation, there is a PDF of an analysis of the BBC Great British Class Survey from 2013, to add complexity to modern considerations of class. There is also a table that details the AB, C1, C2 and DE breakdown of class as well as a mock-up source question through which students are directed (in the lesson) to identify the arguments for and against the importance of social class in voting behaviour.

Four lessons are provided that begin the A-level Government and Politics: Ideologies unit for Liberalism. This was designed for the recent Edexcel course. Each lesson is provided through a PowerPoint presentation that covers key information alongside discussion points. Additional information for teacher knowledge is often incorporated into the ‘notes’ section of each slide. The components covered in this bundle are: The core concepts of individualism, freedom and the state The core concepts of rationalism, social justice and liberal democracy Classical Liberalism - its key themes and thinkers Modern Liberalism - its key themes and thinkers Not included in this bundle are: Deep dive lessons into the five key thinkers required for the course. A consolidation of overall Liberalism A suitable introduction into the Liberalism course itself Essay technique for the course

A lesson within a wider unit of work, analysing the different causes of WWI. This lesson provides a narrative of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As this is heavily based on narrative, rather than effectively designed resources, I will share it for free so you can take what you’d find useful.

A lesson that looks at the development of the arms race within the Cold War. There are links to YouTube resources and many slides contain additional guidance in the ‘notes’ section of the slide. There is also an additional collection of sources with tasks as a supporting worksheet. This is designed for the Edexcel ‘Superpower Relations and the Cold War, 1941-91’ unit.

A presentation-based lesson on censorship and Socialist Realism within Soviet Russia, designed to fall in line with the Edexcel exam specification for GCSE.

This is a short lesson on the Soviet Constitution of 1936, including a presentation as well as a worksheet. The presentation is primarily based around the worksheet and would require contextual knowledge on the part of the teacher.

The second lesson to my Socialism unit, covering three of the five components to the ideology (equality, social class and workers’ control). The presentation gives a level of coverage that would lead to a deep understanding for KS5 students. There is ample content available here to spread over two lessons. The presentation is also supported with summary worksheets for students to complete over the course.

A lesson that covers Anthony Crosland for the Edexcel unit on socialist ideologies.

Within this bundle are 5 individual presentations, each one looking at one of the key Liberal thinkers required for the Edexcel Government & Politics course. The key thinkers covered are: Locke Wollstonecraft Mill Rawls Friedan Each lesson covers a range of information about the relevant thinker, with a collection of quotes, factual information and tasks to guide student learning. Not included in this bundle: An overview of the key themes of Liberalism A breakdown between Classical and Modern Liberalism

Despite what the sample images suggest, the text does align and fit properly within the slides. I’m unsure why the sample images are showing this incorrectly. Three lessons are provided that start a new enquiry looking at crime and punishment over time, as well as providing the first two lessons of the unit for the Roman period. One additional worksheet is also provided to be used alongside the second lesson. Additional guidance is given in the notes to provide teachers with the necessary talking points. It is recommended that these are read through before delivering the lessons, as the lessons are quite teacher-led. Further resources for the enquiry will cover: The medieval period The Renaissance period The Victorian period These lessons build towards an eventual assessment question: ‘How did crime and punishment change over time?’

This lesson provides: A reasonably extensive coverage of the different electoral systems that are required for analysis in the Edexcel specification A scaffold for evaluating the different electoral systems in coming to a judgement between them. A sample question that provides a completely made-up source (so that you can use without fear of reducing the pool of resources already available to students for practicing source questions for this specification). The presentation is best delivered through the PowerPoint presentation mode, as each electoral system slide comes with buttons which will link you to the strengths, weaknesses and specific examples for students to know for each system. Just click on these during the presentation and it will move to the correct slide. I have also used data from the electoral commission to create a visual representation of the % make up of seats that would have occurred in the 2017 general election. On slide 21, an additional version of this image is shown - this shows the actual % split of votes so that you can compare each of the images against it. Each individual circle within these images constitutes 1% of the vote.

A self-contained presentation that goes through the main claimants to the English throne before 1066.
