The fourth lesson in the audio-enabled, self teach enquiry on the Italian Renaissance. This lesson is not audio-enabled, however most remaining lessons in the unit are where audio-instructions are useful. This lesson focuses more on writing technique and the consolidation of the lessons so far in building towards the end assessment. Full information on the course can be found on the bundle resource page or the lesson one page. This is the last resource I will upload separately from the full bundle.

This is a substantial, eight lesson KS3 course looking at the causes of the Italian Renaissance. It was created with the intention of being able to provide directly to students so that they can then self-teach the course. Many slides come with audio-buttons that will trigger (if in presentation mode) to provide audio-instruction on what to do or what to know. Many lessons come with additional handouts and writing templates. The intended end product is an essay, where the question format is in line with a GCSE style question, to begin training students to understand how to access questions like that. Each lesson builds towards this end point, both in terms of content as well as analytical and written\ ability. The level of delivery for the unit was high-attaining Year 8, however there is enough content and complexity in the unit for it to be useful for Year 9 students as well.

The development of Germ Theory is complex and incorporates numerous factors that are integral to the Medicine Through Time unit at GCSE. This is a lesson that is built around a detailed game where students progress through the periods and (under tight timed conditions) utilise the information from the different cards to complete their table. It should be flagged that these lessons do not have to be used as a game and can just as easily be used as a simply comprehension and consolidation activity. The two word document sheets go with the first lesson, with lesson 2 then focusing on consolidating and adding a few remaining details to the topic. In completing these lessons, student knowledge should easily exceed the requirements of the course (though I make this claim without having any actual connection to the exam board!!!).

Part 3 of the audio-enabled, self-teach unit on the Italian Renaissance. Please refer to either part 1 or the overall enquiry bundle for full details.

This is a seven lesson unit that looks at the enquiry question ‘Why did William become king of England?’ Each lesson is provided through a PowerPoint, though some come with additional worksheets/resources. Each lesson is numbered for easy identification as to which resources fit with which lesson, and the overall recommended order to the course. The expected outcome of the unit is an assessed essay on the question ‘Why did William become king of England’, built around the following factors: The strength of the different claims The different strength of the nations William being prepared Harold being unprepared The specific events of the Battle of Hastings itself Luck Some slides come with additional notes to support understanding of the tasks or information on the slide. Alongside the content being imparted, these lessons also provide structured guidance on written technique.

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?’

Just a short lesson that provides an introduction to the functions of political parties. This lesson was run with students having access to research devices (phones/laptops). They were provided with the features and functions by the teacher, then set off to research the different areas. The direction of the discussion is shown in the image file within the lesson.

Two lessons are provided on crime and punishment in the medieval period. Each lesson comes with a suitable word resource to provide additional content and structure learning. This is a continuation of the Crime & Punishment unit. The previous lessons (introduction & the Roman period) are already uploaded. For stretch and challenge: encourage students to develop their understanding of change and continuity through branching the medieval period into the Anglo-Saxon and Norman periods.

Part 2 of the audio-enabled, self-teach unit on the Italian Renaissance. Please refer to either part 1 or the overall enquiry bundle for full details.

The first lesson in my audio-enabled enquiry on the causes of the Italian Renaissance. Full information can be found in the larger bundle for the wider enquiry. This lesson is provided independently in case the price of the overall bundle is prohibitive.

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

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

A lesson looking at the challenges faced by Hitler once he had come to power. The lesson includes a card sort and diamond nine activity, with additional development to support the building of a judgement.

A lesson giving an overview of Hitler’s approach to dealing with the economy. This would either be appropriate for a KS3 lesson where you are covering the different components to Hitler’s leadership, or for an introductory lesson to a GCSE course.

In delivering this lesson, I needed to carry some content over into the subsequent lesson. As such, I have provided both presentation documents so that you may draw as you’d like from each in building out/delivering your own lesson. These lessons look at the Purges and the Secret Police, including an information sheet for students to read.

A lesson looking at the chronology of the rise of Stalin. Some teacher knowledge will be required to talk around the points within the presentation.

This is a lesson that covers the civil war at the start of Soviet Russia. It comes with a starter worksheet, as well as a table to navigate a reasonably substantial resource pack.

A presentation looking at the consequences of the Treaty of Brest Litvosk on Russia. Guidance to lesson slides is often included in the notes section of a slide.

A lesson overview that takes students through an introduction to Brexit, concluding with the recent developments following the draft bill publication. This lesson is intended to provide a scaffold for a class discussion - although questions are posed, there are no work sheets. Instead, it is intended to capture some of the interest from the recent drama of the draft bill publication, as well as provide a reasonably detailed background so that students are able to discuss contemporary politics.

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.
