Agree, quote I’ve had for 3 days in Krakow is astronomical. We are a small school so it’s always difficult to get numbers to make trips viable it’s going to be impossible with such high prices.

Year 11 after school intervention timetable starts next week. Made the move to #OCRBHistory last year so don’t yet have a stash of intervention material. If anyone has any intervention/ revision booklets & resources for Making of America they would be willing to share I’d be really grateful

On my to do list too. Open Evening tonight and Open Morning on Saturday, so this week is manic.

These pictures are a classic for introducing the Industrial Revolution. We updated the lesson with the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony too. That’s a bit of classic too now as the students were barely born.

1 hour. 1 lesson after lunch. 4 lessons before lunch with a break after the first two lessons.

Thank you so much, again.

This is super cheeky as Pete has already kindly shared loads of PH resources, but how do you get access to the shared drive? Moved to OCR last year & never taught America before on any other spec, so is definitely a weak area for us.

At KS3 I want the students to focus on the quality of their historical writing and selecting relevant information for that on their ‘cheat card,’ It’s not about how many facts they can remember without any prompts.

KS3 students know the assessment question at the start of the enquiry, each lesson is building towards that. Have a prep lesson prior to the assessment, they are allowed to prepare & use a cheat card in the assessment. Flash card with ‘their’ relevant information so they can focus on quality writing
