This lesson and the resources which go with it are designed to do an astute analytical comparison of the US and UK Supreme Courts which will help students to prepare and write 12 mark questions. This is the final lesson in my Supreme Court topic for the Edexcel Politics ALevel comparative government US and UK (3A- Topic 5) Includes a detailed powerpoint with different activities including a colour code to distinguish features of SCOTUS./ SCOTUK or both Also notes which can be printed out and given to students to work independently. Personally I like to give the colourcode as a starter/ revision activity then go through the correct answers- then get students to use this and the comparative document to fill in as much of their A3 grid as they can (I print it A3 AND double sided as there is a lot to write in some areas). Then we go through the slides as a class to add notes in all areas before setting them the Comparative 12 mark Questions. This usually takes me a 2 hour lesson (double) but can be split into 2 one hours. Also includes practice 30 mark essays on key debates on the SCOTUS for students to plan blank versions and some partially modelled

Revision Resource Paper 2 Saxon and Norman England

This is a mega powerpoint of entire Key Topic 1 for Revision. I compiled it from my lessons so there is NOTHING NEW/ DIFFERENT to what is in my lessons but it is all slimmed down into one long powerpoint which I recorded a video with using zoom for our students to learn at home. Could be used for the same purposes if you need it! Also includes a revision table mat worksheet from students to work from which I suggest is printed on A3 double sided and covers all key aspects of Topic 1 including Saxon economy, religion, law and order including trials by ordeal, blood feuds and Wergild, society and hierarchy/ social mobility, government and local government administration and Shire Reeve, powers of King, Powers of Earls, House of Godwin and origins of power and controvesy. Feud with Earl Godwin, Rising against Tostig Causes, events and consequences and the Claimants to the throne in 1066 alongside an evaluation of their claim (included in video), Battles of Gate Fulford, Stamford Bridge and Hastings. I’ve included the video for you if you need it-it is very long 1 hour 40 mins (whhoops! And is also interrupted by the Morrisons delivery man half way through) but tells the story well with loads of references/ analysis for exam questions and call backs to William’s England and struggle for control as well as changes he makes. Also includes for revision: Match up sheet for Who’s Who in Saxon England Match up sheet for Which Battle as students often get confused by these
