The focus of this lesson is to build upon the failure of the LON and fits into the bigger picture of ‘To What Extent Was The League of Nations a Success’? The lesson’s purpose is to introduce the league’s failures as a result of the 1929 Depression and to judge the most significant problem posed through a series of student led and source evaluation (less teacher talk) tasks.
**Hook: **students are handed hook sheet as they enter to instantly complete focusing around recalling 5 key facts about the the LON. Teacher introduces the lessons intention.
**Starter: ** After watching an introduction video about the depression to re-call / introduce knowledge ( 2 video options embedded into the PP) Students then engage in a quiz-quiz-trade activity to reinforce and build up their knowledge surround the depression.
Main task 1: Student engage in a ‘6 monkeys’ variety task to learn about the initial impact of the depression on the L.O.N:
Monkey 1 – Read (or teacher reads)
The first monkey is to read a piece of text that relates to the concept, idea or process. This stage allows differentiation to take place, as students of different abilities could be given texts with Monkey 2 – Drawing
Monkey 2: Draw!
it’s time for some drawing! Students have to draw a diagram/ cartoon/ flow chart to describe what they have understood from reading the text.h different degrees of detail, complex vocabulary or even on different topics.
Monkey 3: Key words
Lead reader reads out the highlighted words students add these to their pictures.
Monkey 4: Students explain the story to their partner.
Monkey 5: one students is selected to read out to the class – whilst students follow along with the actual story on the board. _ if they do it mostly accurately they can get a prize.
ALL STUDENTS THEN WRITE UP IN THEIR OWN WORDS.

Lesson Intention and differentiated outcomes.
Video links are included within the presentation.
This lesson could be used without the need for exercise books as it is a learning stations based lesson for the most part.

I also included a ‘bigger picture’ station which showed an overview of The Holocaust though pictures etc as a whole.
(All images and videos / sheets from Google / BBC Bitesize).
Lesson plan included.
The purpose of this lesson is to inform students not only about the Great Exhibition but also it’s importance to the British Empire.
**Lesson Plan: **
Lesson starts Embedded song plays as students enter with a literacy hook to immediately begin work to define an exhibition to then challenge students to think of any modern day ones.
Starter: Students watch a short intro video (embedded) to then define ‘The Great Exhibition’.
The teacher than has the option to watch a more in depth video (embedded) which students have a series of questions to answer linked with it’s inception - what was on display and what countries exhibited products and goods. Answers provided then for students and teacher to go though.
Main Task: students engage in a literacy relay task and work in teams competing against each other to build their knowledge upon the Exhibition. there could be a prize for the winning team.
Teacher then embedded knowledge using the answers and student feedback - students can mix-[air-share the answers between each other.
**Plenary: **Acquired knowledge can then be demonstrated though the answering of an exam style question (differentiated though scaffold / mark scheme and sentence starters / key words).
***Lots of visuals / moving images and music embedded within the presentation. ***
This lesson could be used for one lesson. However, to gain the most out of this I suggest using it over a two lesson period dependent upon how much detail / discussion you wish to go into.
Hook starter: As pupils enter the room the presentation will display an autonomously moving spot light to reveal a picture clue about the lesson.
Learning Intention and differentiated outcomes (SMSC). The lesson is structured in order to achieve the learning outcomes:
Expected: You can describe & explain the problems on the Home-front. (SMSC).
Challenge: You can explain how DORA & rationing helped overcome these.
Stretch: You can evaluate and analyse the impact of government intervention.
Activities include a museum walk of propaganda posters, a diamond 9 ranking task of DORA's laws, discussion points from videos (SMSC / modern day link opportunities). Pupils finally consolidate though answering a structured 8 mark exam style question. If time I then ask my pupils to peer assess with WW / EBI.
Videos are embedded or I have included the links in the presentation description.
A colour coded wall display to help students engage with / understand the complexities and Geography of the Vietnam War.
