This great resource is designed to help students understand why the US economy boomed in the 1920's. It can used with pretty much any resource on this topic and is suitable for the full range of abilities. To help stretch students, I have also built in some challenge with a thinking skills review triangle activity at the end to help them prioritise which was the most important factor. This organiser could then be used as the basis for a plan along with the card sort for an extended piece of writing or essay on this topic. The resource includes eight heading cards including impact of the First World War, credit, confidence, natural resources, technological change, Republican policies, marketing and mass production. It also includes twenty statement cards. Six of these statement cards are on the second page along with the thinking skills review activity. For a lower ability class, you could just print off the first page and give them fourteen cards to sort. The aims and objectives for this lesson are: Theme: Why was there an economic boom in the 1920s? Know: What were the main reasons why the US economy grew? Understand: How did each factor help the economy boom? Evaluate: Which factors were the most important? WILF: What Am I Looking for? Identify & describe: The main reasons why the US economy boomed?

The repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846, was a major turning point in British History. At the heart of the debate on their repeal was what role should the government play in society, should it govern in the interests of the landed elite or in the majority?The Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel took the decision to put ‘Country before Party’ and enlisted the help of the Duke of Wellington to help force it through Parliament as his last act before retiring from politics. The debate over the Corn Laws was fierce both inside and out of Parliament with the Anti-Corn Law League pushing for a ‘Free Trade’ policy in the hope of reducing tarriffs to help the poor. The ‘Protectionist’ or ‘Free Trade’ argument has divided British politics ever since and was at the heart of the Brexit debate. Due to the complexities to the debate surrounding the Corn Laws, they are rarely studied at KS3, but this outstanding lesson, which has been field tested and refined in the classroom cleverly reduces the key issues to understandable bitesizes. The core task revolves around a card sort which gets students to sort through arguments both for and against the Corn Laws. The PowerPoint been designed to support the card sort provides information slides, sources, video links, tasks to not only help provide some fun and engaging activities for your students, but deepen and extend their understanding. When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a one page Word Document which contains a learning objective, instruction for the card sort, two heading cards and 18 information cards to be sorted under them. I have also provided this as a PDF file. You will also also be able to download a 20 slide supporting PowerPoint which contains two optional starters, information slides, video links, tasks and activities. These activities include a speech writing activity for either Sir Robert Peel advocating the Corn Laws or an MP opposing their abolition. This is backed up with a peer review sheets and guidance on how to write a persuasive speech. Alternatively, you could set your students the extended writing task to explain why the Corn Laws were repealed. I have also included several plenaries that you can choose from including a thinking skills review triangle activity. For more information please review the preview. This lesson is aimed at higher ability KS3 students but is also suitable for students studying this topic at GCSE or A Level. The aims and objectives are: Theme: Popular Protest in the 19th Century Know: Why were the Corn Laws introduced in 1804? Understand: Why did the Anti-Corn Law League want them repealed? Evaluate: Why were the Corn Laws abolished in 1846? Skills: Source Analysis, Cause, Consequence & Collaboration WILF – What Am I Looking For? Can You Describe: Why were the Corn Laws and introduced?

This outstanding study guide, worksheet or assessment for learning pack has stood me in good stead over the years and looks at the problems facing US farmers in the 1920s. As you can see in the preview panel, the information is broken down into carefully crafted bullet points to aid the learner both in lesson and during revision. Each section is consolidated with an activity which is suitable for the full range of foundation, core and advanced students. I usually read the study guide with my students who are suitably equipped with highlighters to help them summarise and pick out the key facts. On page 2 of the guide I have included a flow chart to show the vicious cycle of debt and poverty that the farmers got caught up introducing the new mass production technologies to agriculture as a spider graph created by my own students summarising the key facts. The consolidation task is a thinking skills review diagram that is designed to promote discussion and debate in groups before feeding back to a class discussion on the IWB. Page 3 of the booklet has two past paper questions from OCR. I always get my students to work there way through them to build up their confidence, but you could always direct certain learners to particular questions as part of your differentiation. The first question is a describe, whilst the second is an explain question. On page 4, there is a full OCR essay question which requires an introduction, main body and conclusion. In the next section, I have also included a n Oxford and Cambridge source analysis question 'on what is the message of this cartoon.' In the final section of the booklet, I have included self help guides for each question to help students write their answers as well as pupil mark schemes which can be used to peer and self assess their work. I always use my visualizer to demonstrate and model mark on my IWB. If you like this resource then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop.
