The purpose of this lesson is to inform students not only about the Great Exhibition but also it’s importance to the British Empire. **Lesson Plan: ** Lesson starts Embedded song plays as students enter with a literacy hook to immediately begin work to define an exhibition to then challenge students to think of any modern day ones. Starter: Students watch a short intro video (embedded) to then define ‘The Great Exhibition’. The teacher than has the option to watch a more in depth video (embedded) which students have a series of questions to answer linked with it’s inception - what was on display and what countries exhibited products and goods. Answers provided then for students and teacher to go though. Main Task: students engage in a literacy relay task and work in teams competing against each other to build their knowledge upon the Exhibition. there could be a prize for the winning team. Teacher then embedded knowledge using the answers and student feedback - students can mix-[air-share the answers between each other. **Plenary: **Acquired knowledge can then be demonstrated though the answering of an exam style question (differentiated though scaffold / mark scheme and sentence starters / key words). ***Lots of visuals / moving images and music embedded within the presentation. ***

This lesson could be used for one lesson. However, to gain the most out of this I suggest using it over a two lesson period dependent upon how much detail / discussion you wish to go into. Hook starter: As pupils enter the room the presentation will display an autonomously moving spot light to reveal a picture clue about the lesson. Learning Intention and differentiated outcomes (SMSC). The lesson is structured in order to achieve the learning outcomes: Expected: You can describe & explain the problems on the Home-front. (SMSC). Challenge: You can explain how DORA & rationing helped overcome these. Stretch: You can evaluate and analyse the impact of government intervention. Activities include a museum walk of propaganda posters, a diamond 9 ranking task of DORA's laws, discussion points from videos (SMSC / modern day link opportunities). Pupils finally consolidate though answering a structured 8 mark exam style question. If time I then ask my pupils to peer assess with WW / EBI. Videos are embedded or I have included the links in the presentation description.

Hook starter: As pupils enter the room the presentation will display an autonomously moving spot light to reveal a picture clue of the D-Day landings. Learning Intention and differentiated outcomes (SMSC). Pupils will work their way through several activities to achieve the lessons outcomes. 1. What was D-day? Pupils watch a short video (embedded) to introduce them to the topic. 2. Planning the invasion: Pupils work in teams to answer a series of questions in the fastest time to learn about the strategy of the day. 3. Pupils will study and listen to Eisenhower’s inspirational speech before creating their own. (Prize for best speech). 4. Pupils visit stations around the classroom to learn about one soldiers personal experience of the invasion through a study of his diary entries. 5. Pupils watch the opening scene from ‘Saving Private Ryan’ (Link provided if you do not have the DVD) As pupils watch they will complete a worksheet. Pupil’s then consolidate their judgment through watching a short video clip explaining the significance of D-day before answering a structured 8 mark exam style question to judge if overall D-day was a success or a failure. Peep Sheet provided to assist the less able pupils. Instructions and advice on how they lesson is to run can be found in the description of the presentation.

The purpose of this lesson is to show pupils how the Gulf of Tonkin Incident and then resolution acted as a trigger for the start of the Vietnam War. Pupils will begin by studying a primary document of a telephone conversation between President Johnson and the President's Special Assistant for National Security Affairs regarding the incident. Pupils will consider a series of questions to figure out what has happened. Pupils will then be introduced to the incident through a blow by blow events sheet - pupils will be encouraged to summarie each key event of the incident before identifying and explaining its main features. this is then consolidated though a video (embedded). Pupils will then consider the bigger picture of the other events which led up to the outbreak of war - identifying and explaining them from past lessons before being encouraged to judge the most significant reason. Pupils will then demonstrate their knowledge with an exam style question linked the the Edexcel scheme either in lesson of for homework. All videos are embedded with instructions for activities to be found within the PowerPoint presentation. Please see my story for other Vietnam resources.

Lesson Plan: Pupils watch a choice of videos to then chronologically arrange a card sort into the events of the day. The main task is literacy relay where pupils will work in teams to answer the questions related to the lessons learning intention. Finally pupils will form a personal judgment regarding: Did the USA deserve all the blame for 9/11? Videos are embedded into the presentation, however I have also provided the links for these as well. I have used this lesson to form part of my history lesson on terrorism through time, however this could also be used for RE / Social Studies / PSHE.

This pack contains two lessons. Lessons outcomes are: Expected: To study the life of a famous Naval soldier. (SMSC) Challenge: To explain a famous battle at sea, its causes and consequences. Stretch: To use source evidence to support an exam style question. The first lesson consists of a case study regarding Jack Cornwell and his importance to a ‘famous naval battle’. At the age of only 16, he was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross and was the youngest British to take part in the battle). Pupils will study his story from a cut out card sort activity catagorising information about his life. Pupils then reassemble to card sort into a jigsaw to reveal that he died as a result of the Battle of Jutland. Pupils are then encouraged to complete further research about other British men who fought in the battle (computers will be required of this, otherwise I have set it as a Homework). The second lesson allows pupils to study source evidence (primary and secondary) to help reach the lessons outcomes. Pupils then consolidate the past 2 lessons with an exam style question. Then pupils can use the success criteria to peer assess with WW / EBI to identify areas of improvement regarding their extended writing. The presentation itself is aesthetically pleasing and engaging with lots of colour including moving Giff images. All videos are embedded (links also provided). I highly recommend having an ‘interactive’ station for the second lesson as there is a fantastic website (link included) which allows pupils to listen to first hand accounts of the battle from survivors. The lessons finish with how the Battle is remembered today 100 years on.

Teacher introduces the ‘Cycle of Prosperity’, students provided with a blank cycle and are challenged to memorize the completed version on the IWB in 30 seconds (timer included) Students then have 2 minutes to try and complete their blank sheet with as much detail as possible. Link this then to some other major concepts associated with Ford (8 more in total), students to play a memory activity to remember them initially which then flows into a game of taboo - all explained in the PP. Students can then watch another video and tick off where they can spot their newly learned words / concepts whilst watching. Following this students are asked to complete an exam style question to explain the impact ford had being challenged to use as many words as possible, easily adapted structure strips provided for differentiation. Finish with ‘learn beyond the lesson’ option for further stretch and challenge.
