Titanic lesson plan

This compare and contrast Titanic lesson is perfect for an end of unit lesson that promotes retrieval of taught information, addresses common misconceptions and teaches children to apply their understanding in a new context. Children are presented with opportunities to think historically, choronologically order events and discuss ideas.

The lesson plan is written around the new Ofsted draft framework requirements with an Intent, Implementation and Impact planning format. The lesson plan takes into account the following Quality of Education judgments:

• an ambitious curriculum
• provision of knowledge capital
• promote discussion
• identify misconceptions and provide clear, direct feedback
• avoid unnecessarily elaborate or differentiated activities
• help learners to remember taught content in the longer term
• help learners integrate new knowledge into larger concepts
• use assessment well
• resources and materials that do not create unnecessary workload

This was a fun lesson to teach (I taught it for a lesson observation for a new job - I got the job!) and the children enjoyed showcasing the knowledge that they had acquired and taking it further. You can see some of the children’s responses from the lesson included within the resource. I hope you enjoy teaching it too - happy teaching!
