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! 😄

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!
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.
A problem solving activity to enable pupils to know and understand the contribution of Wales to the Industrial Revolution.
The ppt. is self-explanatory, guiding pupils on how to complete the problem solving task. A review activity (Gimme5) provides an example of progression (or can be used as an exit ticket etc.)
Enjoy!
An Historical Enquiry task.
Pupils analyse the reliability of 6 pieces of evidence put forward during the trial of Dic Penderyn.
Pupils then determine whether Dic Penderyn was guilty or innocent for the crime he was accused of committing.
To conclude, pupils write a letter to the Home Secretary to suggest the reasons for (or against) the idea of granting Dic Penderyn a posthumous pardon.
A selection of resources looking at the causes and course of the Merthyr Rising, and an historical enquiry into the guilt of Dic Penderyn.
There's an additional resource on Wales' contribution to the Industrial Revolution (with reference to Merthyr).
KQ1 (Causes of the Depression) and KQ2 (Impact of the Depression)
The pupil booklet provides the information. The teacher booklet has the information and exam based questions.
A Venn diagram activity to assess whether Elizabeth achieved a Middle Way in her Religious Settlement.
Quick assessment to check pupil understanding of the changing religious scene between Henry VII and Mary I.
A murder mystery into the death of William Rufus in 1100.
Pupils analyse suspect cards to come up with their own theory on what happened to him, and who was/were responsible.
A number of resources looking at the causes and consequences of the 1917 February Revolution. The pack includes information about the causes and the events of the revolution, such as Russian entry into WWI, the political, economic and social impact of the war, the actions of the Duma etc.
Revision activities and possible exam questions are included.
A simple task (at first) to consider whether or not one of Medieval Wales' most celebrated Prince deserved to be given the title "Great".
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).
Worked well with my Year 7 class.
Hope you find it useful.

A 2 lesson resource looking at the long term and short term causes of the Glyndwr Rebellion against Henry IV.
Elements of Bloom's taxonomy are incorporated into the various activities (progression in difficulty/skill used).
Also elements of literacy and numeracy.
First task: pupils to look at the famous statue in Corwen, and elicit interpretations about the figure.
Second task: pupils to watch a short hyperlinked clip to see if they can answer 4 basic questions about Glyndwr. (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. (Bloom's Applying)
