Digital Devices - 9. Case Study: Microsoft Operating Systems - Edexcel ICT iGCSE Unit 1 – EAL
Catering for Edexcel ICT iGCSE Unit 1.
Lesson 1 of 16 (lessons 1 & 2 and the revision guide are free to download)
These lessons were made for students in the Middle East and have a strong focus on EAL and keyword acquisition/application. Each lesson has 3-8 keywords on easy to use cards that fit into the lesson activity and also make excellent printable revision resources (the revision guide features them all in one place).
Each lesson begins with a different active learning activity, a mini-plenary and a written or creative ICT task requiring the correct application of the keywords. All have stretch questioning to the main activities. The SOW has an online mid and end of unit test that can be found at the Wolsey Academy website.
Wolsey Academy has had a lot of success with this SOW with EAL students who have really progressed in their understanding of the technically vocabulary involved with the ICT iGCSE.
Taken from Wolsey Academy’s “Inspired By…” series of lessons.
Overview: Why did Britain win the Battle of Britain? Looks at multiple factors surrounding Hitler’s failure to execute Operation Sea Lion – the invasion of Britain. Begins with a relay activity to gather information about the factors, a student led teach roulette activity, followed by a prioritization sort and then a written answer using PEEKA paragraphs.
Blog: Many moons ago when studying at the University of Edinburgh I was lucky enough to meet Wallace Cunningham – a real Battle of Britain fighter ace. An incredible man who fought in 19 Squadron flying Spitfires. He was eventually shot down over France and spent three years in a prisoner of war camp (Stalag Luft III – the same camp made famous by the Great Escape). I asked him how he felt about modern day representations of the Battle and he began to talk about the 1969 Battle of Britain feature film starring a tonne of famous actors including a young Michael Caine. It was, and still is, one of my favourite movies but I was expecting him to be unimpressed with the depiction. Instead he said it was brilliant. In the whole thing he could spot only one mistake. Everything else was true to reality. I assume here he was referring to the aircraft and squadron markings rather than the dialogue etc. However, having received validation from no other than a real Spitfire pilot, I have come to love it even more.
Aside from the incredible large scale dogfights the film successfully explains many of the factors behind Hitler’s failure (and Britain’s success). This is what this is lesson is largely based on (with some added factors not shown in the film). Three factors are made clear in the film. Firstly, the film is especially good at explaining Hitler’s mistake in switching from the bombing of the airfields to the bombing of the cities – a decision he made just as he had the RAF on its knees. While the poor citizens were enduring the Blitz the RAF were able to rebuild and operate effectively without much harassment to their logistics and airfields. Secondly, it memorably depicts the effectiveness of radar – with RAF chief famously saying they were “praying to God and trusting in radar”. Thirdly it does a fantastic job, now often sadly forgotten, of showing the role that Allied airmen played. The scene of the Polish pilots engaging the Luftwaffe while on a training flight is incredibly moving as it is funny – and it has become a viral hit amongst young Poles today.
