The purpose of this lesson is to enable students to gain an overview of how leisure time was spent during the 1920s through a collaborative student led task.
Hook: Students enter with information placed around the room about a famous Hollywood actress from the 1920s, students are posed with the question, why did she find it difficult to find work by 1930? (Answer she was eastern Europe and after ‘talkie’ films began native English speakers found it hard to understand her. Teacher takes feedback introduces lessons title / outcomes.
Starter:
Students watch a short video clip (embedded) about 1920s entertainment, students to list as many leisure activities as they can. Teacher then introduces the main task where these identified forms of entertainment will be built upon.
Main Task:
Pupils work in teams to collect information from sources around the room. Pupils are allowed about 30 mins to gather the information to then use it to create a fact file / spider diagram on large A1 paper … Or individually on A4 paper. If they work in teams I usually then take a photo of each teams work and shrink them down to a4 to stick in books. Pupils should then have the knowledge to answer the assessment question either at the end of the lesson or the lesson after depending on how long this task takes. All explained in the PP itself. I have have included a peep sheet for further differentiation.
There is an opportunity to watch a clip from the first ever talkie film ‘The Jaz Singer’, this is a good discussion point as it also links in with racism in the 1920s USA as well.
Plenary:
Students use their fact film to answer an exam style explain question now (easily adaptable structure strips included for differentiation).
Homework:
Students could be challenged to watch ‘The Great Gatsby’ and I have included 2 differentiated worksheets to go with the film, students to look out for varying forms of entertainment, but also other features of 1920s USA such as speakeasies, Jaz, racism, prohibition, flappers etc.
All videos are embedded.

This Assembly is designed to enthuse students (of any year group) to take part in a 'Leadership Challenge' which can be completed over the course of a half term.

Assembly begins with a 'hook' clip from Peter Pan's 'Following the Leader' song (embedded). Ask students to reflect upon any leaders they can think of (a good opportunity to reflect not only on world leaders but leadership within school e.g. School Council / Head Boy / Girl).
Ask students what qualities you must possess to aspire to a leadership role. A video clip is then shown (embedded) and students are encouraged to identify any leadership skills which have just been identified (either by students or from what was displayed on the Presentation).
Students are then introduced to the 'Leadership Challenge', success criteria cards can already be placed upon student chairs upon entering, these can now be addressed.

This is an introductory lesson to help introduce Native Americans.
Pupils watch 'Hook' video clip to guess what the lesson is about.
Learning Intention and differentiated outcomes (SMSC).

The majority of the lesson is based around the main task of 'Literacy Relay'. This is where pupils compete in teams to answer a series of questions based upon an information booklet.

This lesson should lead on from recently studying the Battles of WWI or Field Marshal Haig.
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). Short blurb about how the Generals of WWI may have been misjudged.
Starter: Discuss the picture showing all the the Generals and their statistics from The Great War, how many of them lived / died & how/ awarded medals etc.
I have then allowed my pupils to watch Blackadder series 4 final episode 'Goodbye'. Pupils are to be critical of this and afterwards discuss if this was a true representation of war conditions / Generals. I have provided a YouTube link to the episode (In case it is taken down or it does not work, you may wish to purchase the DVD).
I then use a judgment line to assess progress and gain pupil's opinions in relation to how far we can trust this episode to be reliable and then in relation to the learning intention question.
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.
This lesson would work best having used sources in previous lesson to study WWI Generals / Marshals, I have used Haig in previous lessons. Pupils are encouraged to use this evidence to help construct their answers.
