This lesson was designed for my GCSE students in order to build on their knowledge of the causes of the US Economic Boom of the 1920s (AQA spec) prior to the Wall Street Crash in 1929.
There's enough information on here to stretch higher ability students and the main task involves students creating a table full of information on the groups that didn't benefit from it and and why.
It acts as a good foil for our first lesson on The Boom ( https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/what-was-the-boom-a-detailed-look-at-the-us-economic-boom-of-the-1920s-11475396 ) which accentuates the positives of the Boom and why it happened. This is the lesson where the more nuanced thinking is introduced as regards the extent of the Boom for each area of society.
There's some slides with information on (with an associated written task - handout also included) but it may be that you want to print these out too and offer groups of students all 3 and let them work independently.
Students are encouraged to match their learning to an image (abstract or straightforward) and explain the link. If they can use their knowledge to make links between images even better! Something creative to finish with after dealing with some of the heavier concepts.
In addition to the above there is also a Lower ability/SEN worksheet which closely follow the tasks set on the board. I have found these helpful in getting better outcomes for those students who don't write particularly fast or who struggle with making quality notes to revise from. This allows these students to access the same tasks and information as their peers more readily.
