This resource contains:
An 11 minute video tutorial where I explain the reasons for the Labour election victory in 1945, the subsequent policies they introduced and the establishment of the NHS.
An accompanying powerpoint.
A set of three simple sheets with selected key facts from the following units:
Hitlers Rise to Power
Life in Nazi Germany
Germany during WW2
Students should learn each set of facts in preparation for their GCSE exam. They could form the basis of a series of "points tests" in class for revision.
A worksheet which asks students to study three primary sources and use them to explain what life was like on a slave plantation. There are five tasks plus an extension activity for students to complete.
A differentiated version of the resource is also included (text in sources has been adapted).
The pack contains profiles on five key explorers with highlighted hints on each sheet.
Put students into groups of 3/4 and complete a "marketplace/carousel" fact finding activity. Instructions are on the powerpoint included.
1. Download and play the video to students. It outlines what the "Scramble for Africa" was all about focussing particularly on the role of Britain, France and Germany. Students could create a mind map whilst watching around the key question "What influence did the Scramble for Africa have on International Relations between 1870 and 1914?"
2. Give students the British Empire in Africa Grid. Students will agree or disagree with the statement: "British interest in Africa between 1857 and 1890 was largely strategic”. They will need copies of the source pack in pairs or small groups. They should study the sources and try to determine what they tell them about British motives. They should fill in their grids as they go.
3. Plan and answer the essay question: “British interest in Africa between 1857 and 1890 was largely strategic”
How far do you agree?
A simple powerpoint defining what nationalisation is and how the post war Labour government went about nationalising key industries in Britain after 1945.
Can your students defeat the Axis Powers? Can they make the right decisions to win the war? Can they do a better job than Chamberlain and Churchill?
In this unique resource, students have the opportunity to study the real scenarios facing the allied commanders between 1939 and 1945. Playing the role of the British Prime Minister, the decisions they make could change the whole direction of the war!
The activity pack contains more than 10 historically accurate and detailed scenarios which play out one after the other. They include; The German invasion of Poland, the battle of France, the battle of Norway, the German and Italian invasion of Greece, the Dieppe Raid, Operation Torch, the battle of El Alamein and D Day. Students will go wherever their decisions take them with more than 45 different paths. They will pick up leadership points along the way and at the end, decide who was the best wartime leader! As a teacher, you can finish the process by looking at what really happened.
The activity supports historical enquiry by asking students to make decisions whilst providing the context around each event.
Teaching suggestion -
Print a number of copies of each sheet (perhaps print A5 to reduce printing costs!)
Place "all the 1's" together in one pile at the front of room, all the 2's, all the 3's and so on. You can distribute appropriate sheets from there.
Give students scenario 1 in groups. Students can move on whenever they make each decision. If they win/lose the war half way through, they can still carry on through all the other decisions.
Create a leadership points table on the board to kee track of how each team is doing and create an element of competition.
