USA - 1920s women

Lesson 4 for the AQA history unit- America: Opportunity and Inequality.

The lesson starts with retrieval practice on the economic boom and wealth inequality so that teachers can quickly identify and adapt to existing misconceptions.

The lesson contextualises the changing position of women prior to and during the 1920s and the impact that this had on their lives.

There are video links to support students engagement and help them to visualise the changing lives of 1920s women.

There is deliberate practice focused around a reciprocal reader whereby students have to identify the changes to women’s lives.

The lesson revolves around the key enquiry question ‘How did the role of women change in the 1920s?’ with the lesson ending in a PEE paragraph as a formative knowledge test.

The lesson comes in PowerPoint format, feel free to adapt the lesson to suit your needs best!
