Influenced by research that says the best way to retain knowledge is to keep reviewing previous content in low-stakes knowledge tests. Used daily by pupils, especially those in my tutor who study history. Plains Indians, Mormons, Homesteaders, Early settlers, cowboys and law and order covered.

Battle of the Somme - Learning curve or slaughter?

(0)
This enquiry can take 2-3 lessons to complete. Pupils work in small groups using the information sheets provided to come to their own conclusion. There is advice on how to approach the research, structure their notes and how to justify their conclusion. Pupils have to choose which historians they agree with, if they agree with either. I get pupils to move to an area of the room to make their judgement - this is shown on the PPT. Highly engaging lesson and builds the skills required on any young historian. You can add other sources to the lesson.

Was anyone winning the war in 1917?

Pupils are given the four information sheets to work with in pairs. They research from these sheets to note down if the Allies were likely to lose or win. Whilst doing this pupils become aware of life on the German Home Front. They then create their own significance pie chart with explanation as to which statement they agree with the most. Good lesson for a year that is often forgotten in First World War studies. A challenging lesson.
