The material world worksheet

<p>This lesson sets out to explains how Hitler set Germany on the road to the Second World War in 5 steps.</p> <p>Students are challenged to find out how and why was he able to defy the Treaty of Versailles so easily with little or no consequences (shown through a causal spider’s web).</p> <p>Students analyse video footage and a number of sources, using the COP technique (modelled for student understanding) which has proved invaluable for evaluating sources at GCSE.</p> <p>A final chronological recap of the events and evaluation of the most and least important of the events that led to war, will give students an in depth understanding of why World War II started.</p> <p>This lesson is ideal as preparation for GCSE if you are embedding source skills or teaching the interwar years or WWII at Key stage 4.</p> <p>It is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited throughout to show the progress of learning.</p> <p>The resource includes retrieval practice activities, suggested teaching strategies and differentiated materials and comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.</p>

<p><strong>The First World War</strong></p> <p>The aim of this lesson is to question how much Britain valued its Empire soldiers in the First World War.</p> <p>This subject is very topical at present as historians such as David Olusoga are putting cultural diversity at the forefront of our British history curriculum.</p> <p>The starting point of the lesson is to analyse the story of Private Johnson Beharry, focusing on his background and the reasons why he was awarded a Victoria Cross, through source or video evidence.</p> <p>Students will then link his story to World War I, where they will learn how more V.C.’s were awarded to British Empire soldiers than anyone else and discover which parts of the Empire contributed to the war effort and why.</p> <p>There are case studies in the lesson focused on troops from the Punjab and the West Indies.</p> <p>The main task students face is to judge how valued British Empire soldiers were at the time and if not, how and why they were viewed differently. Ultimately they will need to clarify why this varied widely according to country and race.</p> <p>They will also be required to write an extended answer using their own opinions, with argument words and scaffolding given if required.</p> <p>There is a plethora of video evidence to accompany this lesson, with brilliant clips from the BBC and other sources.</p> <p>Students will finally consolidate their learning by creating sentences from<br /> ‘fragments’ and a retrieval task on the First World War.</p> <p>The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited throughout to show the progress of learning.</p> <p>The resource includes suggested teaching strategies and differentiated materials, and comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.</p>

Wells. Students will choose from thirty research topics—addressing ideas such as real-life UFO sightings (<strong>the 1947 Roswell incident</strong>, <strong>the 1997 Phoenix Lights incident</strong>, <strong>the 2006 O’Hare International Airport incident</strong>, etc.), UFO programs and organizations (<strong>Project Blue Book</strong>, <strong>Mutual UFO Network</strong>, <strong>SETI Institute</strong>, etc.), and famous figures in ufology (<strong>J. Allen Hynek,</strong> <strong>John Mack</strong>, <strong>George Adamski</strong>, etc.)—and navigate academically appropriate sources with the goal of teaching their peers about their topics. A detailed scoring rubric is provided. Materials are delivered in Word Document and PDF formats.</p> <p>Ultimately, students will perform the following tasks:</p> <ul> <li>Articulate connections between a research topic and the assigned novel</li> <li>Conduct research using available resources</li> <li>Collect and classify reliable sources</li> <li>Develop successful methods of recording information</li> <li>Evaluate the credibility of nonfiction texts, taking into consideration readability, date, relevance, expertise, and bias</li> <li>Apply conventions of MLA formatting</li> <li>Correctly site resources to avoid plagiarism</li> <li>Organize information in a cohesive manner, using a note-taking system that includes summary, paraphrasing, and quoted material</li> <li>Analyze, synthesize, and integrate information, generating a thoughtfully comprehensive report, free of generalities and redundancies</li> <li>Present information in a formal, coherent manner</li> </ul>

Here is a medium term plan for topic called 'Material World' that focuses on materials. <br /> <br /> This medium term plan follows the New National Curriculum 2014.

<p>The aim of this lesson is to explore how and why the D-Day landings were a success during the Second World War.</p> <p>Students are given the details about the Atlantic Wall and learn how Hitler’s attempts to design and build it ultimately led to its flaws and weakness in repelling the Allied forces in June 1944.</p> <p>Furthermore, students have to decide which landing site would be more advantageous to the Allies, the port of Calais or the beaches of Normandy.</p> <p>They also analyse the various ingenious inventions of the Allies from the Mulberry Harbours to the underwater PLUTO pipeline.</p> <p>There are some excellent visual sources to accompany the lesson and well as video footage from the BBC.</p> <p>The resource includes retrieval practice activities, suggested teaching strategies and differentiated materials, and comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.</p> <p>The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited throughout to show the progress of learning.</p>
