Bias, Fact and Opinion - History Skills

(1)
This lesson has been created for KS3 history students and covers the key historical skills of bias, fact and opinion. The purpose of the lesson is to get students to identify and understand bias, fact and opinion and how it can be applied and affect our understanding of history. This resource has been created in Microsoft PPT and all accompanying student worksheets and aids have been included and created also on Microsoft PPT and Microsoft Word. This resource has been designed to be taught over the course of a one hour lesson and has been designed for the history curriculum, however, the activities are focusing more on skills and applying them rather than historical content so could be applied to other subjects requiring the same skill sets. Activities include keyword match, paired work and peer assessment, biased fictional writing, seek and find fact and opinion activities and a linking activity. Please check out the teacher notes underneath the powerpoint slides for any additional information/ suggestions. Also some of the slides require you to be in full presenter mode in PPT in order for the animations to work for marking answers/ individual statement activity. I really hope you enjoy teaching this lesson as much as I do! If you are able to, please review! Check out my evidence skills based lesson on the Mystery of the Princes in the Tower here

Holocaust Ordinary things - L1

(1)
This lesson has been created with KS3 secondary history students in mind and is the first lesson in my Holocaust unit of work. This lesson has been created on Microsoft Powerpoint and the accompanying student handout and worksheet has been created on Powerpoint also. . Teacher Notes & Answers have been added to the notes section underneath each relevant slide on the Powerpoint. This resource slowly introduces students to the topic of the Holocaust using skills of inference on a historical artefact and through controlled classroom discussion. Students work on a single historical artefact individually/in pairs/as a class - whichever you feel suits your class best and build a picture of a person - they then have this put into greater perspective for them. The utmost care has been taken to ensure this resource has been created with the utmost respect to the victims of the holocaust and to ensure that students have the opportunity to connect and empathise to the human beings to whom the attrocities of the holocaust were committed. There a no images or corpses in this resource - however the murder of victims is discussed. This lesson includes suggested learning objectives and outcomes and has been designed to be taught over the course of one hour. I really hope you enjoy teaching this lesson as much as I do! If you are able to leave a review once you have taught it, I would be really grateful. Looking for more Holocaust resources?

A well presented lesson on the 1066 Battle of Hastings in the run up to the penultimate lesson of the Battle of Hastings created for KS3 history students on Microsoft Powerpoint A little about the lesson Students explore the Battle of Hastings between two of the contenders Harold Godwinson and Duke William of Normandy. Students uncover the sequence of events during the battle, they encounter a codebreaker task and look at some of the imagery of the Bayeux tapestry. Students consider advantages and disadvantages of each army throughout the lesson. Students then apply their learning to a written exam technique task. Students are guided into answering an exam style question (AQA 8 mark question) with scaffolded sentence and a mark scheme for self assessment to help them begin to understand the requirements for GCSE style questions from an early stage. This can easily be tweaked, however, to tailor the resource to your exam board. Whats included? A whole 1 hour lesson powerpoint is included (there are teacher notes also under some slides). Student worksheets/resources are included in hidden slides in the relevant points of the presentation and also as an additional Powerpoint for ease of printing.
