There are 5 lessons in this bundle which have been created for teaching the role of Berlin in the Cold War for GCSE students, however could also be used to teach the Twentieth Century world at Key Stage 3. They are all fully resourced and there is no need for a text book. Tasks are varied and heavily directed towards success in the GCSE examination. All lessons contain modeled answers and opportunities for students to practise examination questions.

This assessment and these lessons have been created to help determine the understanding of students and embed relevant skills necessary to approach KS3 history. It is recommended that the students complete the baseline test; the results are recorded but not shared. The 6 lessons are taught and then the test is repeated and progress monitored. This will help for planning and differentiation for the year.

This bundle contains 14 A level lessons (approximately 22 hours duration) covering the whole of the Mid Tudor Crisis. They have been planned to meet the requirements of either AQA Unit C; OCR Unit 1: The Late Tudors; or EDEXCEL Unit 1B - use the appropriate questions and tasks. This unit can be taught with any supporting A Level officially approved text book, and is a fully resourced; detailed set of lessons which gradually build up to answering the question: ‘Was there a Mid-Tudor Crisis.’ Tasks include individual; paired; group and whole-class tasks, and are varied thus developing the students ability to evaluate both interpretations of history and contemporary source material, both vital for success at A Level. There are regular opportunities for examination-style practice, and the flexibility for individual teachers to add or delete activities/content as appropriate. There are also a number of links to key documentaries to either watch in class (would extend 22 hour duration of unit) or for students to watch at home, to extend learning.
