MLK and the Civil Rights Movement - Black History
In this pick-up-and-go lesson, your students will learn about how Dr Martin Luther King Jr. led the Civil Rights movement to enormous victories over inequality in the USA.
The lesson begins with the students tackling a philosophical question.
Students then share what knowledge they already have on Rosa Parks and MLK
Students will then look at the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955) and evaluate the role Parks and MLK played in it.
Students will then complete an investigation into the March on Washington (1963)
Knowledge is checked with a ‘true or false’ game
Knowledge is consolidated with students completing a word cloud
My students love this lesson, and I hope that yours will, too!

What is Chronology?
This lesson works perfectly to introduce chronology with Year 7 and sets the students up for the rest of their History adventure be it 3, 5 or 7!
This is a full lesson and comes with my students’ seal of approval.
Introduction: Start with a game, get the students straight into thinking and talking about history
Literacy: Directly teach the key words, with a visual example
Historiography: Introduce the students to timelines, with them guessing what happened at the two yers
Main task: Students are given a series of events (from across the KS3 and 4 curriculum), they then work together to put them in chronological order.
Explanation: Full screen pictures for each event, with year and the name of the event for students to self-check their timeline. Time for teacher insight into each event and to ask class for their ideas.
Historiography: Students then draw their own timeline - can add the pictures with each event. (Grid with pictures of events is included in the PowerPoint)
Wonder: Students then write about which of these events they most want to learn about and why. Useful exercise for finding out what your students want to learn!
I always enjoy delivering this lesson, and I hope you will, too!

Understanding Cause and Consequence
This lesson works perfectly to introduce chronology with Year 7 and sets the students up for the rest of their History adventure be it 3, 5 or 7! It works as a stand-alone lesson, or as the second in my introduction to history series with ‘what is chronology’ being the first part.
This is a full lesson and comes with my students’ seal of approval.
Introduction: Students begin with a literacy exercise
Teacher-Student investigation: Students are asked for their ideas on what ‘cause’ and ‘consequence’ means. Then put this skill to the test with a literacy exercise.
Practice: Students are given four consequences and can come up with imaginative causes!
Main task: Students are given a series of events (from across the KS3 and 4 curriculum), they then work together to work out the cause for each of them.
Explanation: The events are then given to the students to self-check their timeline with the events being given one-by-one on the PPT. Time for teacher insight into each event and to ask class for their ideas.
Plenary practice: Students then write some of their own cause and consequence sentences and share them with their partner.
I always enjoy delivering this lesson, and I hope you will, too!
