Moving onto WWII with Y9 and opened with this BBC Teach clip. Despite being for KS2, the overview of events is broad, accessible, provides good stimulus points for discussion. Also paired with a simple question sheet giving foundational knowledge for future topics #historyteacher
I’ve found this task very useful over the years when revising individuals in the history of medicine. The activity gets the pupils thinking about their significance in the short and long term #historyteacher
The department has been trying out this new guided writing structure. It’s being embedded across key stages 3 and 4. Giving some feedback tomorrow when all of the trust schools get together #historyteacher
Just renewed my free headspace as a teacher - available for all school staff 🥳 I'll be needing it coming off mat leave in Sept! #headspace#teacher#meditate#schoolstaff
It you are looking to get some local history into your curriculum then ‘A Street Near You https://t.co/PSsdYvfNyy is a good place to start. You can very quickly build up a database of soldiers from your town who lost their lives during World War One #historyteacher
70 tickets gone today so far! Our event live stream will be free and open access via YouTube as usual with the recording available to purchase 'on demand' here https://t.co/mdLSfsZPcQ
Fantastic work as we explore Topic 2 Elizabeth.
Strong linking between causes of the revolt and growing knowledge of the plots and their significance ✨✨✨
The GCSE mocks are upon us - here’s an overview sheet for the medicine paper. It’s what I use to focus on question 3 (similarities or differences). It’s really useful for retrieval in general. If you’d like a copy, please click on the link https://t.co/R59VeI06IG… #GCSEHistory
The pupils were looking at the alliances in Europe in 1914. This is a task I’ve been using for years from a old #SHP book. It looks at the strength of individual countries and the power of each alliance. I’ve added in some additional stretch questions #historyteacher
And we are back!
First functional resource for the new academic year created.
We always push reading but have we ever properly shown students what we have read and even if we enjoyed it? I know I’ve read lots of books I’ve loved or hated.
So now we can discuss…
I’ve been watching the History Ks3 assessment discussions on Twitter for a while and we’re trialling a new style and question types with Year 7 ready for September 🤞 Influenced mostly by @sehartsmith tweets and @richkbristol fabulous article
I was inspired by @AndrewSweet4's recent wall display post and adapted it for a laminated 'writing mat' that students can reference on desks while doing extended writing. Full credit to Mr Sweet. Download the editable version (Publisher): https://t.co/GlhtZ7ESU7 #historyteacher
This is my current reading list for our curriculum. It's not finished but any suggestions more than welcome! There are some I am struggling with as you'll see... 1/2
