***SALE*** - this resource is on sale at a reduced price. Two lessons that form part of a scheme of work on the Industrial Revolution, ending in the early 20th century (before the First World War). Lesson one: a group news presentation involving the following learning objectives: - describe what the Titanic was like as a ship - explain why it is such a famous ship - judge whether women and children really were rescued first Students work in groups of three, read the information sheets and present a news report on the three key questions. This active lesson familiarises students with the key events of the Titanic, preparing them for the next lesson which is more writing-based. Lesson two: an observation lesson involving the following learning outcomes: - explain how several people’s actions led to the sinking of the Titanic - explain how these people could defend themselves from blame - assess which person or group of people was ultimately the most responsible for the sinking of the Titanic Students analyse the five 'suspects', deciding who is responsible for the tragedy. They then write a persuasive report detailing their opinion. Ideal as an observation lesson, this lesson could easily be adapted for peer or self-assessment following the writing of the report if there was time.

This ‘outstanding’ rated lesson doesn’t really need any handouts - it can be run from the presentation alone. Two starters are included - a recap of the Berlin Blockade and Korean War, or a source analysis hook into the ‘arm wrestle’ between JFK and Khrushchev. The main part of the lesson is a game that puts students in the shoes of John F Kennedy, responding to events in Cuba. This is followed by an assessment of the consequences of the Cuban Missile Crisis, with differentiated learning objectives. An optional handout and gapfill are included, however it is better when students simply record their options for each decision without the handout, as having the handout gives the game away. However the handout could then be distributed to ensure that students have understood the events. In order not to rush this lesson it could easily be expanded over two lessons.

***SALE*** - this resource is on sale at a reduced price. An engaging lesson that explains the feudal system to students. This lesson can be brought to life through some student participation! Learning outcomes: Describe what the Feudal System was. (C) Explain how the Feudal System helped William keep control. (B) Evaluate how effective the Feudal System was as a way for William to keep control. (A) Starter - A recap of the Domesday Book (this could easily be changed to Why William Won if you are skipping the Domesday Book in your scheme of work) Main - The Feudal System. An analogy to the school pyramid and a cartoon strip should be combined with active student participation to explain the feudal system to students. Use an A3 piece of paper to represent all of the land in England! Give it to a chosen student (the King). Tell him he has to apportion a certain amount of land for his barons. What are the dangers of giving too much? What are the dangers of giving too little? Repeat down the Feudal System pyramid. Main - Now that students are engaged and attuned to the concept of the Feudal System, consolidate their knowledge by asking them to explain the feudal system in their books. This activity includes differentiated word lists that students should use in their explanations. Plenary - Covers how the Feudal System helped William to control England, linking to the Harrying of the North and the Domesday Book. Once the fourth method is covered (Castles), students are prepared for a longer piece of work / an assessment on William's control methods. Quiz - Students have to match statements to who said them to consolidate understanding of the feudal system!

Learning objectives: explain what happened on 11th September 2001 explain the consequences of the 9/11 terrorist attacks assess the most significant consequence Starter: an impactful BBC video clip about the terrorist attacks Main: picture-led class discussion about the consequences of 9/11, following by an evidence categorisation activity. This stage of the lesson also allows for students to bring in their own opinions about the consequences of 9/11 (it may, for example, lead to the idea that 9/11 has negatively affected the portrayal of Muslims). Main: a debate arguing over the most significant consequence of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Based around the historical concept of significance, and with a variety of impassioned views, this activity acts really well as a method by which students can both strengthen their understanding of 'significance' and develop their skills of backing up their arguments with well-explained evidence. Plenary: a summary of the debate.
