KS3: Mao's China Lessons

KS3: Mao's China Lessons

(0)
This short scheme of lessons has been designed for our year 9 students in History, following their study of WWI, the Holocaust, WWI and the Cold War. I have left the resources free of branding/my school procedures so that they can adapted to suit your context. Lesson 1 - Introduction to communist rule in China This sets up how China becomes communist alongside European events (WWI/WWII/Cold War) and the alliance made between China and the USSR. Lesson 2 - Industrial and agricultural changes This lesson focused on the five year plans adopted by Mao and the success/failures of the Great Leap Forward. Lesson 3 - Cultural Revolution and the Culture of Mao This lesson looks at how Mao becomes an icon through the Little Red Book and how the Red Guard were used to subvert Chinese culture and cause terror. Lesson 4 - Social changes for women and the family For this lesson students will look at the changes made towards women under Mao, assessing significant/limited changes towards the social status of women. Lesson 5 - From Mao to modern day China This lesson looks at the legacy of Mao and introduces some key issues in modern day China. This is the shortest of all the lessons and is mostly based on news reports (videos and articles). I plan to edit this further to suit my school’s context, with a growing Hong-Kong population, but I’m conscious this may not relevant all schools/contexts.

USA Knowledge Organiser This knowledge organiser includes a breakdown of the key information for the unit, ‘cold’ and ‘hot’ questions which I use for homework and back pages filled with example questions, timelines and key words/spellings.

USA in a nutshell This two-page document provides a neat overview of the key individuals, events and dates of the unit, I give this to students who are feeling overwhelmed with the amount of content in the specification, as it breaks the entire unit down into a manageable amount to begin revision. As a class we also use this document to highlight key individuals/events/time periods that have not appeared in recent exams to help focus students’ revision. USA Catch up resources Given the sheer amount of content we need to cover, I have created these catch-up sheets which can be place in students books if they miss core content lessons due to absence. These can be easily printed off and placed in a folder, so that when a student is absent you can select the correct lesson and stick it into their book for them to catch up in their own time. I have aimed to put the essential knowledge in however they are easy to edit if you want to add more detail/customise them to how you teach.
