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!

Life in a Medieval Town

(0)
This lesson has been created for KS3 students and covers life in Medieval England. The purpose of the lesson is to get students to consider how life could be viewed as both healthy and unhealthy in Medieval England using source statements. Students initially search for Medieval public health features within a ‘Wheres Wally style activity’. Students then plot on a living graph using statements to guide them in pairs. Finally students apply their learning by writing a section of a 12 mark style question (AQA) using the sentence scaffolds provided to coach pupils into using accurate exam technique. All accompanying resources included and suggested learning outcomes provided with space for you to add your own accompanying grades. I teach this lesson in full to my higher ability Y7 students (and reduce the number of statements to differentiate for my lower ability students). I have been graded ‘Outstanding’ in observation with this lesson also. I really hope you enjoy teaching this lesson as much as I do!

As always the lesson and resources are well presented to the highest of standards. If purchased - please review! Thanks
