Structure Strips for Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Modern Depth Study

(2)
Handy structure strips that cover all the different types of questions (GCSE Modern Depth Study). I use these for the Weimar and Nazi Germany Unit. They are very useful when preparing students for exam preparation, assessments and writing up questions in lessons. The students also use these to make their own structure strips for revision. These can also be purchased as part of our Weimar Revision Pack (link below). https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/edexcel-9-1-weimar-and-nazi-germany-1918-1939-revision-resource-pack-11637138

A lesson which looks at the changes that took place in the years after the Civil War. Students sort cards in to two categories 'things got better' and 'things got worse'. They then need to categorise these cards (e.g. laws, social changes etc). The cards then need to be ranked so plenty of opportunity for discussion and deeper level thinking. The main task is to respond to the lesson's title. Literacy support (sentence stems, key words are included). Students will have the chance to practice GCSE skills in the write up and there is a slide of additional sources that higher ability students can use to further develop their arguments.

The Industrial Revolution. L4 'Why were the cities so dirty during the industrial revolution?'

(2)
This lesson looks at the key factors that led to such poor living conditions during the industrial revolution. Students are introduced to a comic of a London street in 1890 which they use to identify problems. The main activity requires the students to complete a matrix of the problems that they find in the towns and cities and why these issues exist. They do this by extracting evidence from a range of different people's views about the problems. Finally the students use the data to write a report about what the issues are, why they exist and what should be done. Literacy support included. As always there are step by step instructions and high-quality resources.

The Industrial Revolution: Lesson 2 'What were working a living conditions like for the poor?'

(1)
A lesson that challenges students to analyse a range of sources in order to extract evidence linked to a set of given categories to help identify what living and working conditions were like during the period. Once they have identified these and their causes, they discuss the evidence to reach a judgment about the greatest problems faced, before writing up a report on what conditions were like and why they were so bad. The more able students are challenged to offer possible solutions to the problems that they have identified. As always there are clear instructions and differentiated activities to suit all abilities.
