Hello, and welcome to my resource shop. I aim to create original resources for KS3, GCSE and AS/A2. I also aim to provide resources on the less obvious, mainstream topics and bring in elements of the LNF. I have 20 years experience as a History teacher, and 15 years as HoD. Have a look around and grab a bargain! 😄 Please leave an honest rating on any resources you may buy. 👍

Interpretations of Douglas Haig - was he a "butcher" or "war winner"?

A task to develop pupils skills of understanding how and why different interpretations are formed when looking at individuals in History. The full powerpoint is self-explanatory, with structured tasks to help enable pupils to reach at least L6+. This task has been successful, and enabled many low-to-middle ability pupils to hit higher levels. Enjoy!

Henry VIII and the Acts of Union with Wales

(0)
A two lesson pack (L1 and L2 on the ppt). L1 - Why did Henry VIII want the Acts of Union? A task where pupils consider the different factors behind wanting the Acts. Pupils show their understanding by annotating the factor wheel after categorising the information on the worksheet. Pupils must also consider which factor was the most important (using the PEE formula). L2 - What were the effects of the Acts of Union? A market place activity where pupils find the different effects the Acts have (e.g. on how Wales was governed, how lawlessness was tackled, opportunities and impact on culture). Pupils should also consider if the Acts were a good thing for Wales.

The powerpoint is self-explanatory and leads to a literacy (Writing Accurately) task, which covers some strands of the LNF (see the writing accurately pyramid at the end of the ppt).

(Bloom's Recall) Third task: pupils to look at the various grievances in Wales (and personal factors regarding Glyndwr), and categorise them into SPEAR factors. (Bloom's Understanding and Analysis) Fifth task: pupils consider the most important reason(s) why Glyndwr and the Welsh rebelled, and explain whether or not Glyndwr was a reluctant rebel. (Bloom's Evaluate) Final task: this one is up to you, and could cover Bloom's Create. Hope you'll find this useful! Enjoy! Fourth task: pupils then translate the above information into a 9 part factor wheel (e.g. beliefs and ideas, media, poverty, religious etc.), annotating the wheel with at least one important example for the relevant factors.
