Remote Learning - Brigham Young and Salt Lake City - GCSE American West

Ideal for remote home distance learning, sickness, self-isolation, school closure or revision – Brigham Young and Salt Lake City - GCSE American West

This lesson works very well following on from another remote lesson I have posted on here titled ‘Why did the Mormons move West?’

The lesson introduces Brigham Young and explores why the Mormons moved to the Great Salt Lake and their experiences when they got there.

It begins with a recap starter and some background information. The students are then required to analyse the problems the Mormons encountered and their solutions for the journey to the Salt Lake and establishing their settlement. Links are provided for a YouTube video and some online information to help them with this. The lesson ends with an exam question.

This is a remote learning resource which can be emailed out or set on Google Classroom or similar platforms. I simply copy the information over into a Google Doc on Classroom so the students can then type their responses straight onto the sheet. All the information needed and links to videos are included to help them understand.
Enjoy!
