This lesson has been designed for the GCSE Edexcel Medicine Through Time module. All outcomes are linked with Paper One’s Assessment Objectives 1-2-3. The purpose of this lesson is to inform pupils about the ‘Chain on Evacuation’ on the Western Front. Pupils will study the role of the RAMC & FANY within this process from Regimental Aid Posts to the Base Hospital. To further extend pupils understanding I have included a role play card sort activity. The video is embedded (Link provided). Pupils consolidate their learning by applying their knowledge to an exam style question (Success criteria and differentiated help sheets included). You will need the Edexcel Medicine Through Time Textbook for part of this lesson.

The purpose of this lesson is to lay the foundations for the causes behind the 1920’s Red Scare in the USA, kept specifically general to link with varying GCSE Exam Boards but specifically focusing upon developing critical thinking skills causes and judging significance. Lesson begins with a hook: RE-call five to settle students before beginning the lesson with an introduction to rumour spreading: Example of Chinese whispers and video regarding ‘Fake News’ to hook students into the concept of a red scare and moral panic. Option to provide a secret students: with a mission to spread a rumour round the class to further hit home how news / rumours can spread (card provided). Students supplied with the A3 causes sheet and are then to watch a short clip outlining some of the causes of the Red Scare between WW1-1921. Students are challenged to title the picture on the sheet with the causes identified within the video. Following this students are asked to either: Circulate the room and museum walk the causes in more detail or students could be provided with a specific cause and become and expert in it then then peer teach the rest of the students in the class. Lessons finished with students assessing and judging the mos significant cause of the Red Scare by standing next to the cause they believe was the most significant and think-pair sharing with any like minded students to critically explain the most important - writing or verbally explaining to the teacher.

The purpose of this lesson is to enable students to understand how Ford contributed towards the economic growth of the US through developing their understanding of key words and concepts. Hook: As students enter they are challenged with completing an A-Z sheet of how many key words they already associate with the 1920s. Teacher introduces lesson / outcomes. Starter: Teacher then uses the PP to introduce Henry Ford and a bit of his background / famous for. Students can then watch an introductory video (Embedded) and make some initial notes. Teacher introduces the ‘Cycle of Prosperity’, students provided with a blank cycle and are challenged to memorize the completed version on the IWB in 30 seconds (timer included) Students then have 2 minutes to try and complete their blank sheet with as much detail as possible. Link this then to some other major concepts associated with Ford (8 more in total), students to play a memory activity to remember them initially which then flows into a game of taboo - all explained in the PP. Students can then watch another video and tick off where they can spot their newly learned words / concepts whilst watching. Following this students are asked to complete an exam style question to explain the impact ford had being challenged to use as many words as possible, easily adapted structure strips provided for differentiation. Finish with ‘learn beyond the lesson’ option for further stretch and challenge. (Dragons den presentation style activity included also which could be another lesson in itself) Easily enough for 2/3 lessons. All videos etc are embedded with links provided. **Please see my shop for other History resources and bundles. ** https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/morlem

The purpose of this lesson is to enable students to gain an overview of how leisure time was spent during the 1920s through a collaborative student led task. Hook: Students enter with information placed around the room about a famous Hollywood actress from the 1920s, students are posed with the question, why did she find it difficult to find work by 1930? (Answer she was eastern Europe and after ‘talkie’ films began native English speakers found it hard to understand her. Teacher takes feedback introduces lessons title / outcomes. Starter: Students watch a short video clip (embedded) about 1920s entertainment, students to list as many leisure activities as they can. Teacher then introduces the main task where these identified forms of entertainment will be built upon. Main Task: Pupils work in teams to collect information from sources around the room. Pupils are allowed about 30 mins to gather the information to then use it to create a fact file / spider diagram on large A1 paper … Or individually on A4 paper. If they work in teams I usually then take a photo of each teams work and shrink them down to a4 to stick in books. Pupils should then have the knowledge to answer the assessment question either at the end of the lesson or the lesson after depending on how long this task takes. All explained in the PP itself. I have have included a peep sheet for further differentiation. There is an opportunity to watch a clip from the first ever talkie film ‘The Jaz Singer’, this is a good discussion point as it also links in with racism in the 1920s USA as well. Plenary: Students use their fact film to answer an exam style explain question now (easily adaptable structure strips included for differentiation). Homework: Students could be challenged to watch ‘The Great Gatsby’ and I have included 2 differentiated worksheets to go with the film, students to look out for varying forms of entertainment, but also other features of 1920s USA such as speakeasies, Jaz, racism, prohibition, flappers etc. All videos are embedded.

There are a lot of resources included in this pack. The following information is how I have ran the lesson in the past; but please change and adapt the resources to suit your teaching style / pupils. I hope you find them useful. Pass the parcel style starter where pupils work out the lessons topic. I wrap up a bar of chocolate and place a ‘clue card’ on each layer. Alternatively you could give a card to different groups who must act out for the rest of the class to guess their word (Spelling together ‘the Nazi Soviet Pact’) Pupils will visit 5 stations around the classroom to help answer the question ‘Why did Hitler and Stalin sign the Nazi-soviet pact?’ NOTE: You will need additional material for station 4. Station 1: atch video Station 2: Visual Cartoon Source + map of Poland showing how it would be invaded and divided by both countries (simple). (white board pens can be used to label countries / make notes if you laminate the sheets) (visual learners) Station 3: Source table – sources A-F – differentiation: Some easier to understand + read than others) (Again – white board pens can be used to circle / underline key text) (for those who prefer reading) Station 4: touch and feel boxes – Box 1 – contains a clock and a bomb to show that both sides would be bought time but the bomb indicates that war would eventually commence. Box 2: contains a small wooden pole and some grass = Pole-Land = to show that both sides would befit from dividing Poland between them. (Kinaesthetic learners) Station5 : (The Secret station) – A3 information sheet which consolidates everything that happened to lead to the pact being signed with benefits for both sides) This will be revealed half way through the lesson. Pupils can then answer exam style question before peer assessing.

I recently used this lesson for a mixed ability KS3 class. Pupils will learn about the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution. The main task is literacy relay where pupils will work in teams to answer the questions related to the different interpretations of the Storming of the Bastille.
