Key Stage 3 History by Aaron Wilkes: Industry, Invention and Empire: Britain 1745-1901 Teacher Handbook

Born in 1973, Aaron Wilkes is now one of the leading History authors in school publishing as well as being Head of History at Castle High School, Dudley. Aaron knows how important it is to always be armed with a bank of tasks to stretch and challenge more able students. He's a firm believer that lessons need to have pace, impact and grab the attention of students. His time at Castle High has given him the experience of five OFSTED inspections and taking two formclasses through from Year 7 to 11. It is this experience that gives him a good bank of knowledge and first-hand practical experience to draw on. Aaron's KS3 History series, which is familiar to manyteachers nationwide, has a concept and approach which continues to prove strong: it creates attention-grabbing, visually stimulating textbooks that focus on the three things that 11-year-olds enjoy reading about most - blood, fighting and toilets!
