As head of history at Mexborough School for over 27 years, I saw at first hand the devastation caused by the government closure of the pits. My school was 2 miles away from where Billy Elliot, Brassed Off, The Full Monty and Kes were filmed and written. I could not but helped to moved and inspired by the spirit of the people of South Yorkshire.

The ethics and morality of torture is a controversial subject which is at the heart of American values. It is proscribed by the Geneva convention and it is illegal to submit evidence to a court that has been gained through torture. However, the war on terror has placed many of our service men and women in very difficult circumstances where they have had to make decisions which have been questioned by human rights groups. Should the state ever use torture in order to protect the public safety of its citizens against terrorism?

Alternatively, they can create a key and then sort through the cards and then stick the sheet into their book or you could cut out the cards and place them into an envelope for them to sort prior to a discussion on the topic. This is a great resource that can be easily adapted to suit your classroom and expectations.
When you purchase this resource, you will be able to download a single page Word Document which contains a learning objective, instructions, two heading cards as well as fourteen statements that can sorted.

This outstanding resource is designed to provide stretch and challenge. The pedagogy underpinning this strategy is that when we rank items, either statements, objects or images, we are required to make explicit the over- arching relationships by which we organise our knowledge and connect our learning. It can be used as a starter, plenary or as a revision activity on how domestic issues helped to cause the ‘Red Scare’ in the USA during the 1950s.
The resource includes nine diamond shaped cards which include a range of factors to explain how the domestic issues helped to increase the fear and mistrust of the USSR. Once students have cut the cards out they are set three tasks including:
1. Remove any reasons that you don’t think are important. Record and explain why you have removed them.
2. Arrange the remaining diamonds to show any links that you can find between the different reasons. Record and explain your reasons.
3. Make a smaller diamond shape using what you think are the four most important events or factors that helped to cause the Red Scare in the 1950s?
At each stage students should be feeding back to their group or the class and explaining their choices. The discussion and explanation around the choices that they have made are critical in helping them develop their thinking skills as well as their understanding of the topic.
The aims and objectives for this lesson are:
Theme: Origins of McCarthyism
Know: Which key domestic events helped to increase the fear and hysteria known as the ‘Red Scare’?
Understand: How did each event or issue help to ignite the hysteria of the ‘Red Scare’?
Evaluate: How far were domestic issues responsible for causing the ‘Red Scare’?
WILF: What Am I looking For?
Identify and describe: Why there was a ‘Red Scare’ in the 1950s?
Explain: How did events at home helped to ignite the ‘Red Scare’?
Analyse: How far was were domestic issues responsible for causing the ‘Red Scare’?

This outstanding resource is designed to provide stretch and challenge for students studying how the international situation helped to cause the ‘Red Scare’ in the USA. It can also be used as a starter, plenary or as a revision activity on how the international situation helped to cause the ‘Red Scare’ in the USA during the 1950s.
The resource includes nine diamond shaped cards which include a range of factors to explain how the international situation helped to increase the fear and mistrust of the USSR. Once students have cut the cards out they are set three tasks including:
1. Remove any reasons that you don’t think are important. Record and explain why you have removed them.
2. Arrange the remaining diamonds to show any links that you can find between the different reasons. Record and explain your reasons.
3. Make a smaller diamond shape using what you think are the four most important international events or factors that helped to cause the Red Scare in the 1950s?
At each stage students should be feeding back to their group or the class and explaining their choices. The discussion and explanation around the choices that they have made are critical in helping them develop their thinking skills as well as their understanding of the topic.
The aims and objectives for this lesson are:
Theme: Origins of McCarthyism
Know: What key international events increased mistrust and tension between the USA & USSR?
Understand: How did the international situation help to ignite the ‘Red Scare’?
Evaluate: How far was the international situation responsible for causing the ‘Red Scare’?
WILF: What Am I looking For?
Identify and describe: The international situation from 1945 to 1953
Explain: How did the international situation help to ignite the ‘Red Scare’?
