These are structure strips to aid pupils to successfully structure their answers for the Unit 1 exam. The theory is they glue a strip to the side of the page, and then follow the guidelines to help them get to grips of what each question demands for a good/high mark. Pupils then number code their answer. Teacher then marks the work and suggests lettered code(s) for improvement. The attached resources are for the Depression, War and Recovery Unit, but the headers on each strip can easily be edited for your specific unit title. The font colour will need to be darker for printing.

A revised version of my previous Depression, War and Recovery resources, catering for the requirements of the new specification (first exam in summer 2019). Two key questions here include: 1 What caused the Great Depression? (Competition from abroad, lack of investment, free trade, Wall Street Crash etc.) 2 How did people cope with the challenges of the 1930s? (Dole, Means Test, Hunger Marches, Special Areas Act, radio and cinema, new industries, contrast between old and new industry areas etc.) All 5 exam questions are covered at least once in the resources. All have reference to success criteria/structure strips to aid pupils understanding of the requirements. DIRT improvement codes included too. The actual structure strips will need to be purchased as an addition to this resource. All images are, as far as I’m aware, from google images (free to use). Those images that I’m aware are not, have been deleted - ready for you to insert the relevant picture.

Tired of having to type in the names of pupils into a power point when wanting to pick a random pupil to answer a question etc., and then having to do the whole process again with the names of a different class? With this power point , you have a universal name picker generator! All you need is a pack of cards - share them out amongst the pupils, play the power point slide, press pause, and whichever card is displayed, the pupil with that card will have to answer, or whatever. Saves a lot of time.
