This card sort gets students to sort through a series of statements to help them assess the achievements and limitations of the Homestead Act of 1862. It can be used as either starter or plenary for a lesson on this topic and is a great way to activate the learning an appeal to multiple learning styles.

Once students have cut out the statements and sorted them, they can extend their understanding by reorganising the statements on both sides into their order of importance. I usually use this resource in preparation for an extended answer on ‘how far was the Homestead Act a success?’ It can also be used to stimulate a debate on the topic as well.

Know: What was the US Policy of isolationism from 1919 – 1941
Understand: Why did the USA follow a policy of isolationism?
Analyse: What impact did this policy have on both domestic and international relations?
What Am I Looking For?

The starter is a snowballing activity, instructions included. The first part of the presentation then looks at the impact of the First World War and the Treaty of Versailles in the US decision not to sign it or it or join the League of Nations. This is then backed up with a consolidation exercise of a past paper question with a pupil mark scheme which can be easily adapted for peer and self assessment.
The next part of the presentation then looks at 6 key consequences of the US policy of isolationism by looking in outline at economic isolationism, immigration controls, Prohibition, the 'Red Scare', Great Depression and the causes of the Second World War.
The plenary activity focuses on a thinking skills review triangle, which aims to get students to decide which consequence is the most significant. I have also included a homework activity and some notes with the slides.
These resources really well along side each other. The teacher can structure the learning so that they can pause for mini plenaries whilst students consolidate their learning using the task and activities in the worksheet. The PowerPoint extends and supports all students, but the worksheet is designed to structure the learning for foundation and core.

The aim of this activity is to get students to sort through a series of key turning points in the history of black people from 1865 to 1970 and assess how far their changed their status and position within US society. It can be used as an introduction or as a plenary exercise.
I’ve included two resources, a PowerPoint with the aims. objectives, outcomes of the lesson and the living graph templates and a word file that includes two pages of cards that can be cut out for the activity.
I would recommend printing off the living graph templates on A3, but they also work on A4. Please note that I have created two living graphs spanning the periods 1865 - 1940 & 1945 to 1970. This suits they way in which we approach the topic, however you can easily adapt and edit the template as well as the cards to suit your own curriculum. I would suggest that students fold the cards in half before sticking them to the graph.
If you would like some other resources on these topics then please check out my revision cards or dingbats on US Civil Rights or my revision booklets.
Theme: Civil Rights in the USA 1865 – 1985

These resources / unit of work looks at why the Nazi persecution of the Jews became more extreme from 1918 - 1945?
The first few chapters look at the status and position of German Jews in 1918 and then moves on to look at the Nazi rise to power and the propaganda, economic, legal, physical attacks on the Jews from 1933 - 1938. Each chapter is designed with revision and summary sections. I have also included some of my Smart Notes with aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters and summary diagrams to accompany the booklet which you can adapt as you go along.
T he next section then looks at the impact of the war on the next stage of the attack on the Jews by looking at the forced segregation and isolation through ghettoes, which was followed by the work of the Einsatgruppen Battalions as the German Army advanced into the USSR.
My booklet then asks the question why did the Nazis then decide to move to a 'Final Solution' before moving onto the industrial methods and tactics used to murder the Jews through 'Destruction through work ' and 'special treatment.'
The final section or conclusions then explores some of the historical controversy surrounding how far the German people should be blamed for the persecution of the Jews.
If I have quoted from a primary or secondary source then full attribution has been given whenever possible. Please note that my resources were written for a British audience so you may want to run them through your US / local spell checker.
