The aim of this lesson is to allow pupils to explore the 1965 'Watts Riot' as a case study linking in with the era of 'Black Power'. To start - have room ‘turned upside down’ – desks on sides – chairs turned over – information / interviews and pictures to be stuck around the room - hand pupils their investigation sheets as they walk in allow a certain amount of time to pass for pupils to lead their own learning here to discover what has happened, why, where, who and the outcome: Chips or paper money (print off) to be handed to pupils this can be exchanged for help from the teacher if they spend it however they lose a merit or sweets etc.. As a reward. Pupils then define a riot and feedback their findings to the teacher who leads a discussion about the riots and other riots which took place during this time before linking this knowledge to interpreting a source of evidence form the riot. Pupils are then introduced to the 'Kerner Report' which then allows pupils to demonstrate their knowledge with a judgment line activity about the impact of these riots upon the civil rights Movements. Video plenary which of modern day link riot which similarly took place in Ferguson, Missouri, 2014. Peep sheet available for less able pupils: all video and sound clips are embedded into the presentation with further advice on running the lesson to be found in the description.

Main task 2: Students to apply their acquired knowledge to source evaluation and exam technique through using a ‘layers of inference’ sheet to support weaker learners. Students then answer their exam style question and peer assess (proforma included). Plenary: Students break into small groups who have selected the same ‘most significant failure’ they coach each other and then nominate a representative to go ‘Head-To-Head’ with another student with a differing opinion to argue out their opinion.

Students to circulate the room and consolidate the main events of the invasion into chronological order. Alternative: Condense slides and cut up and students work in teams to arrange into chronological order before completing sheet. Alternative 2: Provide key students with an event in chronological order – ask them to memorize it then the rest of the class make their way around the room meeting with the students who can teach them that part of the event – students then complete sheets. Afterwards watch the consolidation video about the main events of the invasion (summary video) (embedded into the PP) and students can add extra detail to their sheet! Main Task 2: teacher goes through some sources of evidence on the PP to consider reactions to the events and Britain France (league’s response) Students then to be supplied with layers of inference sheet to evaluate a source themselves and complete an exam style question. Teacher then draws this all together to form a judgment on why the League ultimately failed Abyssinia (could do a judgment line task). Plenary: Students break into group and one ‘Lead Learner’ students is provided with the consolidation quiz sheet and quizzes the rest of their team to consolidate learning keep a tally of quickest and correct responses (prize / merit / certificate for winners)/ Easily enough her for more than one lesson and please see the bundle this lesson is attached to for more lessons linked with the League in the 1920’s / 1930’s. **All videos embedded / descriptions and prompts included in the PP description. **

This pack contains two lessons. Lessons outcomes are: Expected: To study the life of a famous Naval soldier. (SMSC) Challenge: To explain a famous battle at sea, its causes and consequences. Stretch: To use source evidence to support an exam style question. The first lesson consists of a case study regarding Jack Cornwell and his importance to a ‘famous naval battle’. At the age of only 16, he was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross and was the youngest British to take part in the battle). Pupils will study his story from a cut out card sort activity catagorising information about his life. Pupils then reassemble to card sort into a jigsaw to reveal that he died as a result of the Battle of Jutland. Pupils are then encouraged to complete further research about other British men who fought in the battle (computers will be required of this, otherwise I have set it as a Homework). The second lesson allows pupils to study source evidence (primary and secondary) to help reach the lessons outcomes. Pupils then consolidate the past 2 lessons with an exam style question. Then pupils can use the success criteria to peer assess with WW / EBI to identify areas of improvement regarding their extended writing. The presentation itself is aesthetically pleasing and engaging with lots of colour including moving Giff images. All videos are embedded (links also provided). I highly recommend having an ‘interactive’ station for the second lesson as there is a fantastic website (link included) which allows pupils to listen to first hand accounts of the battle from survivors. The lessons finish with how the Battle is remembered today 100 years on.

The lesson begin through an inquiry into the 'Black Lives Matter' movement currently happening in the USA. Pupils are encouraged to think why this organisation exists and can they draw any similarities between what a video shows them (embedded) and what was happening in the USA during the 1940s.

Pupils then compare the NAACP with CORE and their ethos of using nonviolence to achieve their aims. Pupils study the rules of CORE and complete an activity to embed these in their knowledge (a variety of tasks are suggested for differentiation) Pupils complete the lesson through comparing the successes of both organisations before deciding which organisation assisted the civil rights movement the most.

Through a Geography & Literacy link; pupils consider what ‘white supremacy’ means and why was the idea of it so prominent in the south?

Pupils are then set off on their main task: Depending on your class the main task for this lesson could take many forms, some suggestions are: Pupils could work in teams and study evidence (11 pieces of evidence included) around the room to create a fact file on the experience KKK (Prize for best one). Or pupils could work independently recording what they have learnt from the evidence in their books. Pupils will then have the knowledge they will need to assist in their exam style question plenary or homework (mark scheme included) which the teacher can then use to assess progress. Peep sheet to prompt less able is included. Further advice can be found in the description of the presentation. All video are embedded and links provided.

In this lesson pupils will assess to what extent Edward VI was a good King during the short time he was in power. As pupils enter the class they will be provided with a portrait picture of Edward and Henry VIII. Pupils will mix and then pair up with a pupil who has the opposite portrait to them. Pupils will discuss the similarities between the two portraits. Pupils will then answer the question: Why has the artist painted Edward in a similar way to Henry? (White boards could be used to showcase visual progress). Pupils will then watch a video (link provided) pupils are encouraged to identify the challenges Edward will face during his reign. The main task is designed around pupils circulating their classroom studying evidence stuck to the walls (9 sheets) gathering and categorising this information about Edward into 'Good King & 'Bad King'. This can then be used to answer an exam style question which assesses 'balance'. Plenary: Pupils will form their overall judgment and can either verbally explain though a whole class judgment line or individually on a sticky note to be stuck to the board. There are plenty of directions this lesson could take and various ways the source evidence could be used to suit your class. A prompt and challenge sheet has been included to stretch and challenge / support weaker students.
