This lesson is designed for my current Y11 students starting AQA Paper 1 (Old Spec). It covers the content to the event through a detailed piece of writing which students work on independently at first. Students then use the resources to complete the table explaining how each event made WW2 more likely in preparation to answer a 10 mark question. Students then answer a 10 mark question using their tables and previous experience to guide them. A plan is provided on a word doc to help structure their answer. Finally students make a judgment on whether or not the collapse of Czech was inevitable following the Munich Agreement linking their ideas about appeasement. Please review!

A full lesson to share with your KS3 and KS4 students for Black History Month. This lesson has been created on Microsoft PowerPoint and is designed to be taught for an hour, however, the tasks can be adapted to speed up or slow down the lesson and some of the tasks included could be taught as stand alone activities. All accompanying information sheets/ worksheets have been provide and additional supportive student materialsfor the starter and plenary have been provided on the PowerPoint as hidden slides to help deliver the lesson quicker should you require. The lesson includes keywords & definitions, a brief overview of what Black History Month is and why we celebrate it, scaffolded teaching, information sheets to search and categorize key information. Students are then to use the information they have extracted to complete profile pages on significant figures in black history. I have provided single A4 information sheets on 4 key figures from varying periods of history in addition to blank profile pages (black and white to save on colour printing and provide students with more opportunities to get creative!) There is an AFL check point built into the lesson and to consolidate the learning students can attempt an exam style question which is great for practicing and developing point & evidence writing. The accompanying mark scheme to self-assess has also been included (this is currently styled as a 4 mark AQA history ‘describe’ question). Alternatively, this can easily be tweaked to meet the language and style of your own subject/exam board questions. I really hope your students enjoy this lesson for Black History Month. If you get the opportunity, please review! Looking for a Black History month quiz to share with your tutortime/students? Check out this one here.

This is the 2016-17 Scheme of work which has been produced for Y8. The lessons I plan and sell on here correspond perfectly with the SOW. This is a SOW which has been honed, changed and improved over my years of teaching. The SOW offers a week by week breakdown (using 2016/17 dates) of each lesson (based on a 2 lesson a week average). It is easy and comprehensive for the non specialists to use and works well for us keeping track as we have many split classes in lower school. Suggested homeworks included and a column to enter the annual data collections can be added which can make planning assessments easier. Lessons for this SOW can be bought in bulk as well as individually. Please message me any requests if I havent yet uploaded any units and I will endeavour to upload them ASAP.
