100% The size of the History GCSE spec mitigates against effective teaching strategies. Or rather, you are forced to move on to new content before at least some students have mastered the previous content, because otherwise you won't finish the course.

Today is the centennial of the abolition the #Caliphate by the Turkish Republic on March 3, 1924.

On the same day, the last Ottoman caliph, Abdulmejid II, and all members of the Ottoman family, were also exiled from Turkey.

Looking back today, I believe it was a wrong turn.

This was spotted at a bus stop in Hackney, London.

So pleased with how these look and how much Year 9 enjoyed it! #literature #teachers #english teacher #english #english learning #teacherresources

Finally recieved here 🇪🇸Versus History excited to share some snippets with pupils. Particularly love the conclusion tip for weighing up factors.. build it up..knock it down..build it up again 👏🏼

Yup, AI generated art can be rubbish, but I'm still loving using it as a revision resource for literature. Talk through the picture and poem, link it to a line, explore metaphor/meaning...

Here are some of my favourites... My Last Duchess:

Lesson feedback: don't send it, don't give it - co-construct it. Otherwise, it won't be worth it. teacherhead.com/2024/01/28/les…

Thanks for the advice regarding the Guided Reading. Added some questions rather than just a summary task. Working really well

Finally forced self to write about something worrying me a lot: ‘knowledge-rich gone wrong’. I've placed it within a longer-term view on something else going wrong: assessment. So, 2 cats among the pigeons 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛. In Historical Assoc TH 193. Short thread 🧵1/6

Fast becoming my favourite 'Do Now' task. Pupils really leaning into it

Top tier teaching requires regular checking for understanding.

Ideally C4U that is both valid and efficient...

We are also seeing the power of social media as an archive. Unlike previous atrocities, this one can never be denied. No one can ever claim to not have known. In their arrogance they filmed every crime. Little did they know they were making the archivist’s job a breeze.

I will be teaching the following lesson to year 12’s : To what extent did life change for British women, 1918-79?

Students will use Ai as their starter task to serve as an introduction to the content.

Ai can really serve well as a form of role play.

This was a great read and very apt considering situations today. Narrated by 'Nahr' a Palestinian refugee in an Israeli prison who recounts her family story..
