Weekly tutor time quiz - October 3

(0)
This resource is a 20 question tutor time/ form time quiz created on Microsoft Powerpoint suitable for KS3 and KS4 secondary students. I publish a new 20 question quiz weekly during term time; this weeks quiz was created for October 2022 week 3, however it can be used at any date as the questions are not time/season dependent. I love doing a weekly quiz with my tutor group at the end of the week on a Friday morning - so its a great activity to start in formtime as we go back to school for the start of the new academic year! NOW INCLUDED - ANSWER SHEET AND LEADERSHIP BOARD SPREADSHEET There are 20 general knowledge questions in this quiz varying from geography, history, science and world trivia. The answers are provided across 2 slides at the end of the quiz - each answer is revealed per click. I would recommend for this quiz students get into groups of no more than 4 and the activity should take no longer than 15 minutes to complete. Please keep an eye out for my weekly quizzes and review/leave feedback if possible. Also if you prefer the terminology ‘form time’ to ‘tutortime’ then I have provided an alternate title you can swap in at the side of slide 1 on the Powerpoint.

Hitler and the Anschluss 1938

(0)
This lesson is designed for my current Y11 students starting AQA Paper 1 (Old Spec). It covers the content to the event in steps which studentscan work on either independently or in groups. The activity for this can be structured in a carousel if you wish. The event has been broken down in simple points as students can sometimes get a little confused with the names and agendas of people in Anschluss. Each step is accompanied by images to prompt memory. Quick AFL checkpoint in the form of a Pop Quiz is in there. The penultimate task in this lesson is for students to become familiar with the 10 mark question on Paper 1. Students are provided with the answer and have to figure out the exam technique behind it. What do they need to do and what do they not need to do. The question allows students to use prior knowledge of the Rhineland crisis and students then need to consider which event was more significant in causing ww2. Model answer & student scaffold are provided as part of the pack and all resources have been produced to an excellent standard. Please review!
