I have been a teacher for 8 years and am currently working in Dubai as a History teacher and Head of Year. I put a lot of effort into creating my premium resources and will not upload them until I am confident the lesson will be graded at least a good if not outstanding. Please contact me if you have any queries, questions or concerns about my resources. Regards

hook starter of a spotlight teasing an image of the declaration. Differentiated learning outcomes (SMSC included). Pupils will discuss their human rights, define its meaning and then create their own, 'Teenagers Rights'. Pupils will then learn about 'The Declaration for The Rights of Man' comparing and contrasting modern human rights with that of the French during the Revolution. Pupils will discuss the problems facing France and that of the 3rd Estate and how these problems were rectified by the declaration.

WWI Home-front: Defense of the Realm Act (DORA) & Rationing.

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.
