During my second placement I focused on high expectations within the classroom as developing my subject knowledge and classroom management further. Furthermore, I expanded my Key Stage 4 experience, having taken on a variety of small activities such as starters with some classes, as well as teaching individual lessons with others. In this placement I taught: the Peasants Revolt to Year 7; Witchcraft in Early Modern England to Year 8; and the First World War, Suffragettes and Civil Rights in the USA to Year 9. I prepared to teach Early Elizabethan England to Year 10, and Weimar and Nazi Germany to Year 11, using the Edexcel GCSE Specification.
