This great activity is designed to help students studying how the Homesteaders survived on the Great Plains as part of a course on the American West. It can be used as either a revision, consolidation exercise or even as a plenary or starter. If you are looking for an accompany resource to cover this topic then please do check out my TES shop. The two page word document contains 14 problems with the solutions that the Homesteaders came up with mixed up. Students cut out the cards and match the problems and solutions under the two headings. Once they have peer reviewed or checked them during a class feedback session, students can then stick them into their books. Alternatively, you could create a class set that are kept in envelops and quickly matched and then put back as a quick starter or plenary. The aims and objectives for this activity are: Theme: How successful were the Homesteaders at settling on the Great Plains? Know: What problems did they have to overcome? Understand: How did the Homesteaders survive and build successful farms on the Great Plains? Evaluate: What impact did these solutions have on the Homesteaders, the environment and the Native Americans? Skills: Cause, Consequence, Change, Continuity & Source Evaluation. WILF – What Am I Looking For? Identify and describe: What problems did the Homesteaders have to overcome in order to survive? Explain: Did they try and solve these problems? Analyze: begin to make an overall judgement on how successful the Homesteaders were at settling on the Great Plains and at what cost?

Identify / describe: What problems faced farmers in 20s? Explain: The impact of government policies and mass production on the price of farming produce? Analyse: Which was the most significant problem? The resource begins by setting out the aims and objects. The starter is a snowballing activity, instructions included. The first part of the presentation then looks at the impact of the First World War and mass production on the plight of the farmers. It then looks at the impact on their income and spiraling debt problems. The next part of the presentation then looks at the impact of overproduction on the environment and minority groups such as Alack people and Hispanic Americans. The avatar then introduces an alternative interpretation of why farmers didn't share in the prosperity of the boom by looking at the roles played by Republican policies such as tariffs, prohibition and laisse faire attitudes that resulted in the problems of the farmers being furtherer compounded. The plenary activity focuses on a thinking skills review triangle, which aims to get students to decide which factors were the most important in preventing farmers from sharing in the prosperity of the boom. This slide could be printed off. It should be pointed out that their is no definitive answer, but the group or pair work around this task is designed to promote discussion and class debate to later help students with their assessment questions. The assessment section includes 4 questions from OCR or the Oxford and Cambridge exam board. The first is a describe, the second is an explain and the third is an essay question. The final question is a source based question which could be used as either a starter or a plenary. I have also included pupil mark schemes which could be used to get students to either mark or peer assess their work. This resource really well alongside my worksheet on why didn't farmers benefit from the Boom which you can download and buy separately or as a bundle with this presentation.

This outstanding study guide, worksheet or assessment for learning pack has stood me in good stead over the years and looks at the problems facing US farmers in the 1920s. As you can see in the preview panel, the information is broken down into carefully crafted bullet points to aid the learner both in lesson and during revision. Each section is consolidated with an activity which is suitable for the full range of foundation, core and advanced students. I usually read the study guide with my students who are suitably equipped with highlighters to help them summarise and pick out the key facts. On page 2 of the guide I have included a flow chart to show the vicious cycle of debt and poverty that the farmers got caught up introducing the new mass production technologies to agriculture as a spider graph created by my own students summarising the key facts. The consolidation task is a thinking skills review diagram that is designed to promote discussion and debate in groups before feeding back to a class discussion on the IWB. Page 3 of the booklet has two past paper questions from OCR. I always get my students to work there way through them to build up their confidence, but you could always direct certain learners to particular questions as part of your differentiation. The first question is a describe, whilst the second is an explain question. On page 4, there is a full OCR essay question which requires an introduction, main body and conclusion. In the next section, I have also included a n Oxford and Cambridge source analysis question 'on what is the message of this cartoon.' In the final section of the booklet, I have included self help guides for each question to help students write their answers as well as pupil mark schemes which can be used to peer and self assess their work. I always use my visualizer to demonstrate and model mark on my IWB. If you like this resource then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop.

These resources / unit of work looks at why the Nazi persecution of the Jews became more extreme from 1918 - 1945? The first few chapters look at the status and position of German Jews in 1918 and then moves on to look at the Nazi rise to power and the propaganda, economic, legal, physical attacks on the Jews from 1933 - 1938. Each chapter is designed with revision and summary sections. I have also included some of my Smart Notes with aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters and summary diagrams to accompany the booklet which you can adapt as you go along. T he next section then looks at the impact of the war on the next stage of the attack on the Jews by looking at the forced segregation and isolation through ghettoes, which was followed by the work of the Einsatgruppen Battalions as the German Army advanced into the USSR. My booklet then asks the question why did the Nazis then decide to move to a 'Final Solution' before moving onto the industrial methods and tactics used to murder the Jews through 'Destruction through work ' and 'special treatment.' The final section or conclusions then explores some of the historical controversy surrounding how far the German people should be blamed for the persecution of the Jews. If I have quoted from a primary or secondary source then full attribution has been given whenever possible. Please note that my resources were written for a British audience so you may want to run them through your US / local spell checker. Some of the key questions or learning outcomes, which these resources explore are listed below: • What impact did the FWW and Treaty of Versailles have on Germany? • How successful was the Weimar Government at bringing economic and political stability to Germany? • What was the status and position of German Jews in 1920? • What impact did the Great Depression have on the support for extremist parties in Weimar Germany? • Why did Hitler become Chancellor of Germany in 1932? • How did Hitler consolidate his power in 1933 – 34? • How did the status and position of Jews change from 1933 – 45? You need to know about: • What rights did German Jews have under the Weimar Constitution? • Why did hatred of the Jews increase from 1919 – 1933? • Why did the Nazis launch a propaganda attack on the Jews? • What impact did the economic attack have on the Jews 1933 – 38? • What impact did the legal attack have on the status and position of Jews living in Germany? • Why did the Nazis launch a physical attack on the Jews in 1938? • What impact did the Second World War have on the Jews in Europe? • Why did the Nazis introduce the Final Solution in 1941? • How did the Nazi regime use industrial methods to persecute the Jews in the Holocaust from 1933 -45?

These revision cards cover all the key factors that you will need to know about the USA in the 1920s. If you are looking for a fun, interactive revision game that can be used as a starter or plenary, then this resource for you! It particularly good at injecting a bit of competition which will draw in some of those under achieving students, especially the boys who might be very good at learning key facts via a game. They can also be used by students as revision flash cards. There are three main ways that you can use them. Game 1 involves getting students to read out the key words until the other guesses the topic correctly. Game 2 involves additional challenge and stretch by getting students to describe the topic without using any of the key words on the card. The third game, which adds an additional layer of fun or challenge involves playing a round of Pictionary or Charades. I normally give my students 3 minutes of each round to help activate the learning and warm up the class. You could also have a freestyle round where students decide which game they want to play linked to their learning style. If you are trying to engage some under achieving boys, add some competition and get them to keep score in the back of their books. I would recommend printing them off on card and getting your students to cut them out. Then put the cards into an envelope for class use. If you are a student then keep them in your pocket and use them as a flash card to help you learn the key facts, If there is a term that you do not understand then as your teacher or do some extra research. From a revision perspective, you can print off the cards and get your students to learn the key words for a test or for their exams. These are a win, win resource. The kids will love them and they will help to improve your results. If you like this resource then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop.
