This is a card sorting activity to help students revise the American West for the GCSE.
They are to arrange the 12 dates in chronological order, and then match the events to the dates. I have found that giving them a highlighter for drawing out the key information can be helpful.
There is a differentiated version, for lower ability students, with 6 key dates. The information is less detailed on these as well.
Powerpoint can be used to support learning, as it allows students to reflect on the reasons that the dates are significant for the Indians and the settlers. There are key concepts to jog students’ memory on the powerpoint.
More able students can reflect on these questions as an extension.
Which are the 2 most significant events in:
The settling of the Plains
The destruction of Indian culture?
