Lesson Plan: Pupils watch a choice of videos to then chronologically arrange a card sort into the events of the day. The main task is literacy relay where pupils will work in teams to answer the questions related to the lessons learning intention. Finally pupils will form a personal judgment regarding: Did the USA deserve all the blame for 9/11? Videos are embedded into the presentation, however I have also provided the links for these as well. I have used this lesson to form part of my history lesson on terrorism through time, however this could also be used for RE / Social Studies / PSHE.

Hook starter: As pupils enter the room the presentation will display an autonomously moving spot light to reveal a picture clue of evacuated young people boarding a train to hint about the context of the lesson. Lesson Intention and differentiated outcomes. (SMSC) Video / MP3 sounds clips (with links) are embedded within the presentation. The aim of this lesson is to allow young people to explore and empathise with the evacuated young people during WWII. Pupils begin filling out a tag for themselves (reminiscent of the time) before being asked to write a short blurb about their partner to appeal to a host family. Pupils then pack their suitcase catagorise what they believe boys/girls would have needed to take with them. I then split my pupils up and place them in different areas of the classroom (locations evacuees would have been sent to). The main task involves studying an evidence pack to allow pupils to decide of the evacuation process was a success or failure by the British Government. Pupil's then consolidate watching a short video (embedded) before forming their judgment through answering a structured 8 mark exam style question. If time I then ask my pupils to peer assess with WW / EBI. Instructions and advice on how they lesson is to run can be found in the description of the presentation. Depending upon ability / how through you wish to be this could easily transcend into a two lesson process. Many Thanks.
