This great resource is designed to help students analyze historical interpretations. I have successfully used this type of resource for many years with my students. When it is successfully completed it provides them with an excellent writing frame or scaffold for writing a high quality answer.. Used overtime, this type of resource will help to embed good practice and help students develop the important thinking and analysis skills they will need to tackle interpretation questions. As you can see in the preview, this is a single sheet resource with several squares. It is an evolution of the thinking skills reliability squares organiser that some of you may have come across before. The first square gets students to comment on the message of the source. The second square gets them to back this up with quotes, evidence and examples from the source. The third box gets students to analyse / explain the interpretation using outside knowledge, which would move them up to the next level, whilst the forth square gets them to analyse / explain the reliability of the interpretation with reference to the origin, nature, purpose, audience, access to information and its intended impact, which would take them up to the higher levels. Finally, the last box is designed to get them to link their analysis and come to a judgement to any other source being studied at the same time to help secure that A*. Underpinning the graphic organiser is the use of both PEEL and CCCJ as potential scaffold: P = Point E = Example E = Explain L = Link C = Comment C = Content C= Context (Source & Knowledge) J = Judgement Back in the days when examiners could provide training and feedback, these acronyms underpinned many of the level descriptors. If you would like a great resource which for further explaining these to your students then check out my PP on 'How to use a source successfully at GCSE.' This can also be printed off and laminated to make some great eye catching wall displays.

This outstanding lesson has been designed to help students studying the controversy surrounding the death of Emily Davison. It can be used with the full spectrum of ability. If you wish, you can purchase both card sorts separately for less, under the headings of card sort: Emily Davison or Source Investigation: Emily Davison. When you purchase this resource you will be able to download two fully editable Microsoft Word documents as well as a PowerPoint. The Word documents include aims, instructions, two heading cards labelled 'accident' and 'suicide.' Depending upon the ability of your class or how much time that you have to teach this topic, you can select either the two page source investigation card sort or the more straight forward single page information card sort. The PowerPoint presentation is designed to help facilitate the lesson and includes aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, appropriate video clip links, assessment questions, pupil mark schemes and feedback sheets. The lesson kicks off with a snowballing starter activity, followed by a brief one side introduction to Emily Davison and her background. The next two slides discuss the historical controversy and include quotes from historians supporting each interpretation. This is then followed up by using either one or both of the card sorts - if you have a mixed ability class you could always use the other card sort to provide an additional layer of differentiation. Once the card sort exercise is complete, students can then feedback and then do a follow up assessment on the topic. This optional, but I've included additional slides with a pupil mark scheme that can be easily adapted for to your own assessment scheme if necessary. At various points, I have included links to useful video clips. These can be accessed when the PP is in show mode by clicking on the play button. The aims and objectives for this lesson are: Theme: Why did some women get the vote in 1918? Know: How did Emily Davison die? Understand: How has her death been interpreted? Evaluate: Was Emily Davison’s death a tragic accident or suicide? WILF: What Am I Looking For? Identify and describe: How did Emily Davison die? Explain: How does the evidence support each interpretation? Analyse: Make a judgement on whether her death was an accident or suicide?

This diamond 9 activity has been designed to help students studying the why some women got the vote in 1918. It has been designed to be used with the full spectrum of leaners, but is particularly useful for stretching the critical thinking skills of the more able. If you are looking for a main stream resource, then please check out my card sort on this topic, which can be found in my TES shop. However, If you wish, you can also purchase both resources along with a PowerPoint with aims, objectives, starter, assessment and pupil mark scheme for an extra £1 , under the title: ‘Why did some women get the vote in 1918?’ When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a fully editable Microsoft Word document which can be differentiated further if you wish. The resource includes nine diamond shaped cards which include one of the reasons why some women got the vote in 1918. Once students have cut the cards out, they are set three tasks including: Remove any reasons that you don’t think are important. Record and explain why you have removed them. Sort the remaining diamonds to show which are ‘short’ or ‘long’ term consequences. Record and explain your reasons. 3… Make a smaller diamond shape using the four most important reasons why some women got the vote in 1918 and explain your reasons. At each stage students should be feeding back to their group or the class to explain their choices. This is critical if you are going to develop the core thinking skills that we associate with a diamond 9 activity. Once students have sorted the cards, you can extend their understanding further by discussing which factor played the most important role in persuading politicians to change their mind and give some women the vote in 1918. The aims and objectives for this lesson are: Theme: Why did some women get the vote in 1918? Know: What tactics did suffrage groups use to persuade politicians? Understand: What role did the FWW play in helping to change attitudes? Evaluate: Which historical factor played the most important role? WILF: What Am I Looking For? Identify and describe: The tactics used by the suffrage movements? Explain: What role did the First World War play in changing attitudes? Analyse: Make a judgement on which factor was the most important? If you like this resource then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop.
