This is a full lesson designed for online learning on the Saar Plebiscite in 1935. I kind of screwed up when teaching this and left it until the end of unit, but it worked out quite well in the sense that the students had much greater contextual awareness.

I have taken some resources here and made them suitable for online learning. You will need to convert them to the appropriate format. They can also be used for classroom learning as, when and if we ever return to normal. Two lessons here, although only one document to work through. The PPT is focused on Lesson 1, which mainly focuses on the events of the Spanish Civil War itself. It has a cross curricular link with Art and Music and there is a Theory of Knowledge style question as the plenary. Lesson 2 is the second half of the document. It focuses on German and Italian involvement in the conflict. Links to YouTube videos in the notes section of the PPT

This lesson introduces the key concepts of The Cold War through the Chess match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky. Activities are integrated into the PPT and on seperate sheets.

I took a resource from here and made it into a coherent lesson. The videos are in the notes , thought they aren’t be any means essential. This is pretty simple. I would use this at the start of Yr 7, but could probably be used at KS2.
