Aside from being humorous and absolutely accurate, this from Horrible Histories is such a banger.

Our first big enquiry in year 8 focuses on the role of Thomas Paine during the Age of Revolutions. The students were building up their knowledge today about the French Revolution. I do love a pie chart when looking at the importance of factors #historyteacher

A few years after first reading it, I’m revisiting Cleverlands by @lucy_crehan on audible.

It remains one of the most important, measured, insightful and engaging books on education in the last few decades.

As fresh & instructive now as when it was first published 7 years ago.

Thrilled that my book is out today! There's a 30% discount below for anyone who'd like to get a copy.

The barbed wire screw picket: saved having to hammer in wooden stakes in No Man’s Land. Reputedly designed and manufactured by Swedish companies, it was used by both sides on the Western Front. Images of the same from 1988-98. My fascination with these continues…

If you’re students are preparing for their Germany mock paper, then they might find this Battleship retrieval game useful. The game has been updated with questions for the new specification. If you’d like a copy of the game, please click on the link https://t.co/URQpLuiInp

We’ve made changes to our assessments at KS3 thanks to @richkbristol and his article on ‘the return to formal assessment’. Across Y7-9 we’re combining knowledge with second order concepts and taking the time to up-skill student writing. 🧵#historyteacher

This painting is over 100 years old.

It's by Zinaida Serebriakova, a wonderful painter with a fascinating life whose story is worth knowing...

[Jonny Hemphill @worcesterjonny]

How did Hitler become Chancellor in January 1933? The pupils read the narrative. They identified the events that helped or hindered his progress. They also identified the factors that contributed to his success. If you’d like a copy, click on the link https://t.co/bvXZ2cV9rR
