Finally put up my ‘Think Like a Historian’ display ft. podcasts, films/tv, books and websites. Happy to share if anyone is keen! Also printed the @histassoc historical fiction list for students to skim through! #historyteacher #historydisplay

@joel120193 I email their tutor or issue a spot or demerit on the system if it isn't done. We've got topic checks after each topic so they know if it isn't done, they might not score highly. The OneNote tracker can then be reused the next year and tweaked. It also acts as my planner now!

@joel120193 We use Microsoft at my school. I've got a table in the content library on OneNote with a row for each lesson. Every lesson has a topic/title, link to ppt, worksheets, reading and videos if we used them in the lesson. In theory, pupils don't need to ask me what they've missed

Heads of Department/SLT What do you do for pupils who have missed lessons due to being absent? Do you give extra work, catch up work, direct them somewhere etc? What does it look like? Would appreciate RTs for a wider range 👍

Attention grabbing starters that encourage creative thinking - How it started and how it's going. Pupils have to explain/sketch in the blanks. @historyteacher

Historians buried this story for centuries. In 1518, an entire city lost control of their bodies... The cause? Something far more mysterious than any disease. Welcome to the Dancing Plague and its 500-year-old mystery: 🧵

Swan Lake, an icon of Soviet culture, was played on loop on televisions after Brezhnev died while selecting a successor. It returned after the deaths of Andropov, Chernenko and during the coup against Gorbachev. #historyteacher #lenintoyeltsin

Bored of setting work that ends up in an extended piece of writing? An essay? An exam answer? Hopefully this short piece on 20 Engaging End Products for the History Classroom will offer you some inspiration & new ideas bit.ly/43irLLv

Highlighting has been identified as being a less effective study strategy compared to retrieval & spaced practice (Dunlosky et al 2013, Hattie & Donohue 2021) but this technique can be used as a starting point when it comes to studying. I explain in this article for @HWRK_Magazine hwrkmagazine.co.uk/dont-ditch-the…

This guy has published 83 novels and more than 200 short stories. He is a towering figure in the world of writing. All writers should memorize these 14 epic tips from Stephen King's book "On Writing":🧵

@missHRhistory I love this!

Key Topic 2 now completed :) tes.com/teaching-resou…

I've enjoyed planning and teaching the Cold War (fully through!) for the first time and have got to the revision section of the first key topic.. hopefully this sheet is helpful to students, but would welcome any feedback/tweaks :) #historyteacher #gcsehistory #edexcelhistory

25 January 1960. The Gulag system of forced labour camps in the Soviet Union was officially abolished. Soviet historians suggest 1.6 million died in them, mainly due to overwork and starvation, but western historians put the death toll at 6 million.

@SPBeale @TheRestHistory @dcsandbrook @holland_tom @MrTuck2013 Would you be able to share the doc by any chanec?

@MrsSamtani @TheRestHistory @dcsandbrook @holland_tom @MrTuck2013 I’m sure it could be adapted. Happy to help.

It’s that time of year where Year 13 study Watergate and no better way for them to prepare for the lesson than listening to the @TheRestHistory two part series and completing this worksheet. @dcsandbrook on top form. @holland_tom playing the Greek chorus to perfection.

#OnThisDayInWW2 (1/2/41) when engaged in Allied efforts to remove the Italians from East Africa, Lieutenant Premindra Singh Bhagat was with a section of Indian engineers clearing mines on the Sudanese border. His car was blown up twice and he was injured but carried on. He was subsequently awarded the Victorian Cross for his conspicuous gallantry.

Some renewed attention for this today.
