This lesson details the progression from Motte and Bailey Castles to Stone Keep Castles in Medieval Britain. The lesson contains a 4 mark describe question to reflect on prior learning. The content covers the structure and features of stone keep castle and then looks further (through means of a carousel activity) advantages and disadvantages of stone keep castles. This would lead well to insert a Paper 1 ‘Interpretations Q’ for the new Spec AQA paper.

A well presented lesson on the ways and effectiveness of defending castles in Medieval times. Students are engaged through detailed, well presented resources. Students are encouraged to design their own castle and its defences. Students are challenged to work in teams and are provided with a king-sized budget to buy the latest medieval castle defences. Students must therefore consider effectiveness against budget. When considering castle defences students are challenged to use prior knowledge on the most effective and damaging methods of attack. This is a lesson that excites students and really engages them in their learning. Take it a step further and challenge groups to ‘duel off’ against each others castles. As always - please review!

This lesson is designed for AQA NEW SPEC USA. The lesson provides a 12 mark homework question based on the lesson content. The lesson firstly covers the second new deal - information slides have been provided if you wish to split the lesson into 2 and remove the information from the SWaT sheet for students to obtain themselves. Students organise and prioritise reasons why the ND can be seen as both a success and failure in preparation for their homework. As always - the lesson has been produced to the highest standard. Please review if purchased. Thankyou

This lesson looks at how William the Conqueror tried to maintain control of England following his 1066 invasion by introducing and implementing the Feudal System. The lesson looks at what a feudal system was/is and compares it in the modern day context. Students create their own fuedal system and a create piece of homework is set to allow students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge Same style as all my previous lessons with high quality presentation and resources to ensure maximum student engagement.

This is the third lesson in my SOW for Y7 which introduces students to the 4 key areas of life in 1066 and (monarchy/religion/the people/law and order) and focuses on improving literacy skills (PEE paragraphs) in history using clear and engaging scaffolds. The lesson is ideal for paired/group work and was originally planned for a mixed ability group.

This lesson details the Middle Passage for slaves taken to West Indies and America. The lesson looks at the Middle Passage through ROOTs and through sources (interpretations). Exam technique practiced in the lesson revolves around the Q2 on the new AQA 2016/17 spec. This question is an interpretations questions and gets students to consider the differences in the provenance of the interpretations. As it is a very difficult style question and foreign to what students are used to a very scaffolded worksheet is included. There is guidance to get students to consider the Time/Author/Purpose & Place of each interpretation before analysing them completely. As always lesson and resources have been produced to a high standard of presentation to ensure high levels of engagement. The lesson contains an activity which would require you to have access to ROOTs to watch the Middle Passage scene - it is advisable before watching that students are warned scenes can be distressing and occasionally graphic.

Looking for something exciting for Open evening to put your department in the limelight?! I have created a Horrible Histories QR Treasure Hunt challenge. Each QR code links up to a horrible histories video linked to each subject area in the school. There is a principals challenge at the end also (which I am displaying near the school entrance!) Students take their 10 box cards around school with them as they are viewing each department area and seek out the QR codes . Its an exciting activity to keep them motivated and get them engaged with teachers and their parents but also it keeps OUR department in the front of their minds! They will remember history most of all when they walk out of the school! ;) Just ask you very nice repro man to print the cards on A5 paper, the student helpers at the door to hand them to prospective students coming into the school and have the codes laminated and stuck up outside of each subject area. Enjoy!

This lesson looks at who Elizabeth I was and the ways in which she wanted herself to be viewed by her public. Students get to decode hidden messages in Elizabethan portraits. As always the lesson is presented in an excellent way and designed for maximum student engagement.

A fun lesson on Edward the confessor that will get students engaged and up and off their feet! This lesson is designed to be taught in advance of the 3 contenders/Battle of Hastings lessons.

This lesson is the second in my SOW following William of Normandys ascension to the English throne in 1066. The lesson focuses heavily on exam technique (4 mark describe) and source inferences (6 mark OCR). The lesson explores the reasons for the Normans Harrying of the North and details the impact this had on helping William keep control of England in 1066. The lesson has a variety of tasks that will take you beyond an hour and a suggested homework with a focus on bias and demonstrating knowledge acquired in the lesson is also provided. Resources are hidden on the lesson ppt in the relevant places. Please review!

This lesson is the first of 2 detailing slave auctions. It makes links to human rights laws today and it practices skills of source inference and empathy. To access this lesson to its fullest extent Roots Slave auction is best to be watched. It is better to watch the fuller thing on DVD but below is a quick Youtube link to the auction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldszVJNpNKA

This lesson is the first in my Tudor SOW. Students investigate the mystery of the 2 princes using sources to decide who was the most likely murderer of the boys/ who had the most to gain from their disappearance. This is a good into to the Tudors and learning about the character of Henry VII and the problems the Tudors faced in security of their throne.

New and improved Battle of Hastings lesson - will last beyond one lesson - now includes basic exam technique for new AQA spec GCSE to get the students learning how to answer questions early and make the learning meaningful!

This lesson covers Elizabeth I’s religious settlement. 4 Mark exam technique has been incorporated into the lesson. The lesson has been written for KS3 however it would be useful for LAP GCSE students studying the Elizabethan module for their GCSE.

This lesson looks at William the Conquerors problems when he initially became King of England on 25th December 1066. The lesson considers solutions to each of his problems and allows students to practice 4 mark detail questions. Same style as all my previous lessons to ensure maximum student engagement.

This lesson covers part of the 'Mid Tudor Crisis'. It explores the boy king Edward VI as a ruler of England and the problems he causes with regards to the succession. Lady Jane Grey - his choice of successor is included and offer students the opportunity to find out her fate also. Students are to assimilate an idea that Henry's children's religious beliefs are de-stabalizing England and will therefore cause problems for Elizabeth when she becomes monarch.

I made this for a quick fix to fill a lesson at the end of term. Included is a word search/crossword and poster/leaflet activity comprising of Medieval England studied so far by my Y7 groups.
