If you are looking for a lesson which ticks all the boxes on collaborative learning then this beautifully illustrated market place activity is designed to help students assess which was the deadiest weapon of the First World War. This is a great engaging lesson which will help to enhance your teachers toolkit and get your students talking for weeks and doing extra projects.
As you can see from the preview slides, the tasks and activities have been written to appeal to the full spectrum of ability and have been set up around the market place activity where the key slides in the PP are printed off and either pinned on the classroom walls or set out on the tables so that students move around and fill in their information on the summary sheet. This is a very proactive lesson designed to get students up, moving around, sharing and working collaboratively.
When you purchase this resource you will receive a twenty nine slide PowerPoint which includes a ‘snowballing’ and a ‘buzz and go starter’, information slides and activity on why there was a stalemate, the market place activity itself as well as a thinking skills review triangle consolidation exercise. You then choose to decide a mind map or extended writing activity to then build upon and assess their understanding. I have also included a couple of other slides with templates etc to help facilitate the lesson. You can easily sequence and edit the lesson to suit your students and the context of your school. I usually supplement the lesson with additional relevant video clips on weapons and tactics from the films ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’, ‘War Horse’ and ‘Gallipoli.’ For more information, please view the sample preview slides .
The aims and objectives for these resources are as follows:
Know: What weapons and tactics were used during the First World War?
Understand: Why was there a ‘stalemate’ on the Western Front?
Evaluate: Which was the deadliest weapon of the First World War?
Skills: Source Analysis, Cause, Consequence & Collaboration

In preparation for the lesson you will need to print off a class set of the timeline, statements and their matching picture clues. These could be cut up or printed off on A3 sheets. The picture clues have been included as differentiation for SEND students, but can also be used to provide clues for the more able. Once students have matched the clues to the time periods, they can then feedback their results for a class discussion.
The follow on for the lesson would be to look at the different factors which have influenced the development of medicine through time. I’ve also included a link to a video clip on You Tube, which can be used either before or after the main activity.

Seating plans are great tool to help you learn the names of your students and sit them according to the data you’ve been given for your students. This great resource is designed to be used as a seating planner for a typical science classroom. Simply pick the layout which best matches your room and then customise the slide. You can then then copy and paste the slide to create a set for your timetable.
When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a Mircosoft PowerPoint which includes eight slides and a title page. Each slide has a standard science classroom layout. On each table there are two name boxes. Simply delete the text and add your pupils names. Please see previews for more information.
The last two slides offer advice on where to sit students based upon research on ‘attention zones’ and the amount of information students retain.
When moving the tables around your template, it sometimes easier to group them together. Once complete, you can beam your new seating plan on your IWB to help you learn their names and so that everyone knows where they are sitting.
