Having seen a brilliant example of whole class feedback from @kenradical, I've given it a go for my year 10 essays and am really pleased with the result. I'll be giving them their copy tomorrow and will see what they think!

@fizzycat26 @SamMitschke Article has been found! Many thanks :)

[Sam Evans @MrEvans_History]

I can't find a brillant Teaching History article on Empire! It was written by two teachers who had written a textbook and their SOW included enquiries into whether or not imperial treasures should be returned etc. Can't find a trace on the website- any help appreciated!

@MrOByrneLynch1 Had this on yesterday! Perfect music to work to

[Sam Evans @MrEvans_History]

@freereed59 @SamMitschke I agree, I think we skirt around the gender politics of these phrases with KS3 (and beyond!) because it can confuse what is already complex. Shouldn't stop these assumptions being unpacked though- I'll go back through my resources later 😊

[Sam Evans @MrEvans_History]

@EMTrains Thank you for the reply, is this from Bedford?

[Sam Evans @MrEvans_History]

@EMTrains currently held at Bedford on a train that left Leicester at half 12. We have been given no information or update on when or if we will arrive at St Pancras!

I decided to enjoy my marking free Saturday by making an Elizabeth I revision video. This one covers gov. in 1558, her character and initial problems and is targeted at lower achieving students 👑 https://t.co/aUGYo3UefH #FlipLearning #ElizabethI

@UoNSoEHistory Looking forward to it 😊

[Sam Evans @MrEvans_History]

Crappy (and incredibly busy!) last week with discipline feeling like it had slipped. I'm feeling like a corners been turned though with extra emphasis on ensuring first and last 5 mins of every lesson start/end calmly, positively and productively! #NQT

@UoNSoEHistory Have just sent a copy to your email 🙂

Any suggestions for a good online platform to share work and documents with A-Level students?

[Robert Saunders @redhistorian]

This is very poignant on how well-intentioned people trivialise and dismiss anti-Semitism, in a way they would not dream of for other forms of prejudice. https://t.co/oTfWWWQo3D

[Sam Evans @MrEvans_History]

@Katherine1983 Yes! That's awesome. Thank you 😊

[Sam Evans @MrEvans_History]

When I was marking over the Summer some people mentioned a brilliant (well-known?) interactive lesson on the Spanish Armada involving students acting as the wind and ships etc. Any ideas on where I can find out more twitter?

[Sam Evans @MrEvans_History]

@MrOByrneLynch1 Innovative? I'd say willing to try new things and respond to different challenges.

@HOwenHistory @mrwbw Cutting around hands on red paper and can all be used to create giant poppy as collective act of rememberance. Can be paired with a ppt for tutors to run through w/ pictures etc.

[Sam Evans @MrEvans_History]

@sparkerhistory I love this! The devil is inspired by one of my favourite pamphlet covers from the period.
