This is a lesson which develops students skills of team work and independent enquiry. Students begin with a team quiz! Students pose their own enquiry (or choose from 2 enquiry questions on the board) based on the ‘hook’ (video). As a team of detectives. Students explore different elements of organised crime with constant focus on their enquiry question. High quality resources (maps/written pieces/statistics) make up the 6 sources. I have printed mine on A3 in colour and laminated. Students use their enquiry research to answer an 8 mark question (this could also be done as a team/in pairs). As alwasy please review! Video of the youtube link included in the pack.

This lesson is designed to fit over an hour. It informs students about the April 1938 Anschluss. Students look at the story and events of the Anschluss and how its outcomes led to WW2 being more likley. In this lesson I introduced the Paper 1 10 mark question and supplied students with a model answer to break down into a plan. I work with students to highlight the many points made on each argument and review the paper again to get students to highlight the key language and words used in the text to promote each point as the most significant In addition to this there is a mini Pop Quiz to check understanding. As always the lesson and resources are well presented to the highest of standards. If purchased - please review! Thanks

This lesson is designed for my current Y11 students starting AQA Paper 1 (Old Spec). It covers the content to the event through a detailed piece of writing which students work on independently at first. Students then use the resources to complete the table explaining how each event made WW2 more likely in preparation to answer a 10 mark question. Students then answer a 10 mark question using their tables and previous experience to guide them. A plan is provided on a word doc to help structure their answer. Finally students make a judgment on whether or not the collapse of Czech was inevitable following the Munich Agreement linking their ideas about appeasement. Please review!
