Explain how useful a source is to a historian enquiring about the chain of evacuation. Analyse our work using the mark scheme to identify successes and targets. task one: pupils put the chain of evacuation into order and describe each stage using key words only task two: pupils annotate a mark scheme, can be done under a visualiser, using the same method as the examiners of paper three (Judgement, analysis, knowledge) discussion with pupils about what key things mean within the mark scheme. task three: pupils annotate the sources in pairs, question prompts on the board to support less able (underline three key facts etc) before going over it on the visualiser task four: Pupils answer a how useful question in timed conditions - this can be marked or I have included a peer/self assessment activity where pupils mark their own work and improve it using colour coding and a full mark answer. i have included a worksheet summarising the chain of evacuation in case this is being used as a revision lesson rather than within original teaching - this may be useful for lower ability pupils within a normal scheme of work as well.

REVISION STARTER ACTIVITIES: Entire unit quizzes American West, Edexcel

(0)
These quizzes have been designed as 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 tasks to drop into other lessons. The idea is to use them as a way to interleave prior knowledge into current topics and ensure that knowledge is returned to frequently to develop knowledge retention. The 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 structure gives students instant formative assessment in which they can then choose a topic to ‘pledge’ to revise that week as part of their homework. Every quiz has a green pen slide with answers to go through with students to support the teacher. Students find these tasks very fun and engaging and can see where their strengths and weaknesses across a topic lie. I have designed the task to revise important concepts briefly at least once by the time they have completed all of the starter activities. The activities could also be used as a building block to help students identify what they will be doing for the rest of the lesson (to be used closer to exams when completing revision tasks).
