BBC Black Death clip with Forms comprehension check
Year 7 are towards the end of their medieval England unit. Today is a 25-minute recap on the Black Death. The next lesson asks them to argue whether it was the most significant event of the medieval period. The teacher has chosen an eight-minute BBC documentary clip that covers symptoms, transmission and the social effects.
Students watch the clip on their iPads with headphones. The teacher pauses the projector at the end of the clip for a 90-second whole-class clarification (the difference between bubonic and pneumonic plague, the rough death toll). Students then answer ten MCQs on a Microsoft Form. The class results are reviewed in the last three minutes.

Tudor monarchs knowledge organiser self-quizzing
The Year 8 unit on the Tudors covers the six monarchs: Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, Elizabeth I, with Lady Jane Grey as a footnote. The class needs to know each monarch's dates and three key events before the timeline assessment next week. Today's 20-minute lesson is self-quizzing on the unit knowledge organiser.
The organiser is a six-row Google Doc table, shared as view-only. Students cover the right two columns with a paper bookmark and work through the monarchs trying to recall each one's dates and events before revealing. They mark their own progress with a tick or cross next to each row in their books.

Causes of WW1 slide-deck recap before source work
Year 9 have been studying the causes of the First World War for three lessons. Today is a 25-minute recap before next lesson, when they will analyse a German political cartoon as a source. The teacher walks through a six-slide PowerPoint covering the four MAIN causes (Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism, Nationalism) plus the assassination as the trigger.
The deck is shared on the LMS. Each slide includes one date, one statistic and one image. Students follow on their iPads and copy a one-line summary of each cause into their exercise books. The teacher checks summaries by walking the room in the last five minutes.
