The aim of this lesson is to analyse African American experiences in the Civil War.
The lesson begins by students exploring the reasons why the law changed, allowing black people to join the US army
Some video footage and statistics give an insight into some of the experiences black people encountered, before students complete a thinking quilt linking key terms to events in the Civil War as well as challenge questions.
Students also have to evaluate the significance of black regiments by analysing a quote from Frederick Douglass at the time and deciding which statements apply and fit the criteria, before justifying their choices.
An interactive blockbusters plenary questions their knowledge from the lesson and checks understanding.
The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited to show the progress of learning.
The resource includes suggested teaching strategies, retrieval practice, differentiated materials and comes in Powerpoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.

Civil Rights in America Bundle
I have created a set of resources for ‘the challenges for Britain, Europe and the wider world 1901 to the present day’ which focus on Civil Rights in America. The aims of this bundle are to understand how black people were treated in the USA in the Twentieth Century and how they began to fight for their civil rights. I have created, readapted and used these lessons to challenge and engage students, but also to show how much fun learning about this part of history really is. Students will learn and understand key historical skills throughout such as the continuity and change in the rights of black people in the USA, the causes consequences of the Civil Rights movement which followed, the similarities and differences of the tactics used, the significance of key figures such as Abraham Lincoln, Jesse Owens, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and various interpretations about how far black people have achieved equality today. Each lesson comes with retrieval practice activities, suggested teaching and learning strategies and are linked to the latest historical interpretations and debate from the BBC and other sources. The lessons are fully adaptable and can be changed to suit. The lessons are as follows: L1 Abraham Lincoln L2 Jim Crow Laws L3 Little Rock Nine L4 Emmett Till L5 Rosa Parks L6 Protesting L7 Martin Luther King L8 Malcolm X L9 Ku Klux Klan L10 Jesse Owens L10 Civil Rights in America today L12 Black people in the American Civil War (bonus lesson)
