The American West 1835-1895, GCSE 9-1 Edexcel
The aim of this lesson is to analyse some of the problems the early settlers faced moving west onto the Great Plains.
Students have to work out the initial problems through various images and think through how they could solve these.
They also have to decide how to deal with the swarms of locusts that descended on the Great Plain such as in 1874 when an estimated 120 billion grasshoppers devastated over 300,000 square kilometres of land.
There is some GCSE exam question practice on the consequences question with some help given if required.
The plenary requires students to use dice to pick and link key words together to create sentences.
The resource is differentiated and gives suggested teaching strategies. Some retrieval practice with talking heads is also included on the front slide.
It comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.
