I posted these sources up around the room for students to collect information from. This task was designed to provide context to support and assessment on the workhouses. Comments are appreciated. :-)
Why did America 'lose' to the Viet Cong?

Why did America 'lose' to the Viet Cong?

(0)
This lesson explores the reasons for America withdrawal by assessing the tactics used by both sides. Paired and group work takes up the bulk of the lesson. The main poster task can be interpreted in different ways but I use playmobil and props to allow students to get around the imposed word restriction. Examples of this task are shown in the powerpoint to help you visualise this! Comments are appreciated. :-)

Why did people oppose Vietnam?

(1)
A lesson which explores the arguments for and against the Vietnam War. The main activity centres around a diamond 9 activity but photographs and clips are also used to stimulate ideas. The last task is fairly open as this was planned for a cover lesson. Comments are appreciated! :-)

How did people react to 9/11?

(2)
Continuing to build up the September 11th resources on TES, this lesson explores people's reactions. The lesson takes student&'s through the reactions of: the public, the president, the press and film makers. I use the first 10 minutes of the 2006 film 'World Trade Centre' during this lesson. Clips can be found on Youtube. This lesson also includes a timeline activity which could be used in isolation. Comments are appreciated! :-) (911, 9-11)
What made 9/11 so shocking?

What made 9/11 so shocking?

There aren’t many September 11th lessons out there so here’s one! Now updated to include newer sliders and embedded clip. The main objective is for students to gauge how ‘complete’ a BBC news clip is. The PowerPoint includes task descriptions but please ask if you can’t follow the lesson. The bottom of the posters should be folded up so that you can reveal the answers! You choose the plenary. If you know of a short clip which was produced a little after the event that would be useful. Any comments are appreciated! :-) Images acquired through a search engine filtered to “labelled for reuse” BBC own the copyright to the clip in the link. I’ve been observed in this lesson and graded as outstanding so hopefully this works for you too. (911, 9-11)

Students explore the stereotype of the witch and attempt to guess which characters would have been accused of witchcraft. Comments are appreciated. This was taught as a 30 minute lesson.

What factors affected the discovery of germs?

(1)
Students target the specific factors which helped to develop germ theory. This lesson should be taught after having introduced Koch and Pasteur. My classroom is equipped with both the white Dawson textbook and the Edexcel endorsed brown version. Comments are appreciated.

Was Brighton bombed during WWII?

(0)
Students use maps and sources to explore the damage caused to Brighton during WWII. Works best if this is used as a local study but could be used up and down the country. Comments are appreciated.

Key events of the Civil Rights movement

Students use information cards to explore the key events of the Civil Rights movement. This lesson works best at the end of a Scheme of Work or when being support by the Black Peoples of America textbook.
