A differentiated worksheet on the topic of Conscription in the First World War. The worksheet works as a standalone resource which is ideal for non subject specialist teachers.

The sheet is differentiated to three levels and is easily adapted for additional needs.

Thes videos combine a wide range of images with key dates, names and events from the Russian Revolutionary period. They provide learners with an eye catching insight into the changes that occurred in Russia in the early twentieth century and provide a platform for discussion and study of the Revolutinary period. They include statements about events for learners to note and have been used extensively for revision purposes by my own classes. They are aimed at GCSE Modern World History classes and are best used as an introduction to the topics.
These three worksheets are for Primary school teachers and learners. They cover the Home Guard, The Changing Role of Women during the war and The Home Front in General. The learning objectives for these worksheets would relate to gaining an understanding o what life was like during the war; understanding of change and developing a sense of period. I have used them for mid to lower ability learners. There are useful videos on youtube that work well alongside these resources. See my youtube channel - dmoorhouse1973 - for my own supporting video materials.
These three resources are designed to help learners quickly develop confidence in ther Secondary school history lessons. Easy to print and laminate as desktop workmats, or to place on display, they outline basic chronologies and illustrate some ways in which to start answering questions in an accurate and considered manner. They include 'fun facts' and are colourful to make them appealing to Year 7 learners.

The aim of this exercise is to engage learners in thinking about what changed in Russia over the early years of the 20th century. By not making specific reference to the First World War, the task enables them to identify things that have changed significantly in relatively short period of time without being distracted by the war or led to believe that it was solely to blame. Factors such as the war, the 1905 revolution and famines can then be discussed as trigger points. In this way the learners should see that there are changes and some significant examples of continuity that lead to a situation where the February Revolution was a possibility.
The task can be used as a longer exercise if each point is discussed and the classes conclusions are shared and debated. However, it is is intended to be used as a shorter activity for pairs lasting 10-15 minutes in total. Delivery in that way presumes a level of prior knowledge.
To use as a longer activity, or should you wish to use the task as an introductory exercise, see our accompanying pupil note sheets on the causes of the February 1917 Revolution.

The War of the Roses is a complex set of events. This infographic breaks down the course of the conflict into twelve core twists in the history of England at that time. Instead of simply listing battles and dates, it looks at clusters of events and identifies in accessible terms the way that it impacted on the course of the War of the Roses. The timeline nature of the graphic allows learners to develop their understanding of the chronology. It can be used simply for display purposes or as a resource to be annotated with additional information. Dates, individuals, battles or links between different elements of the war can be drawn out in class discussion and added to the graphic. It is available as a jpeg and pdf to enable ease of printing and scalability for your own presentations.
Please see our other graphics on the War of the Roses to get a fuller picture of the events of this turbulent period. Additional information and subject related discussion of these areas can be found on our facebook page. Reference materials for teachers and learners on the Wars of the Roses are available here.
