Feedback to class. Extension – Pupils can try and create additional questions to ask about the evacuation. - Afterwards set a homework around the questions that could not be answered

The lesson is structured as follows: - Pupils create a mind map about what they already know about the Cuban Missile Crisis - They then use sources (the number of which can be reduced depending on the ability of pupils) to populate the mind map during the course of the lesson. Pupils use a different colour pen for this so it clearly shows new material gleaned from the resources. - Feedback and sharing with other members of the class. Again pupils should use another colour for this so it shows peer teaching

A fantastic way of revising rationing in WWII. How you play: - Each pair of pupils needs one learning grid and two dice - One pupil roles both dice and counts the number along the bottom and then up the grid. This gives them the first image. The pupil then repeats the process again to get another image. It is then down to them to explain how the rationing images are linked. Imagination time! - The other pupil then does the same. - The best explanations can be written down after around fifteen minutes. This task is a great way to revise key topics and help develop explanations. There is also a simpler grid for lower ability pupils.
