This great resource is designed to help students understand why the US economy boomed in the 1920's. It can used with pretty much any resource on this topic and is suitable for the full range of abilities. To help stretch students, I have also built in some challenge with a thinking skills review triangle activity at the end to help them prioritise which was the most important factor. This organiser could then be used as the basis for a plan along with the card sort for an extended piece of writing or essay on this topic. The resource includes eight heading cards including impact of the First World War, credit, confidence, natural resources, technological change, Republican policies, marketing and mass production. It also includes twenty statement cards. Six of these statement cards are on the second page along with the thinking skills review activity. For a lower ability class, you could just print off the first page and give them fourteen cards to sort. The aims and objectives for this lesson are: Theme: Why was there an economic boom in the 1920s? Know: What were the main reasons why the US economy grew? Understand: How did each factor help the economy boom? Evaluate: Which factors were the most important? WILF: What Am I Looking for? Identify & describe: The main reasons why the US economy boomed? Explain: How did each factor help the economy to grow rapidly? Analyse: Which factors were the most important?

This great resource is designed to help students understand why the US economy boomed in the 1920’s. The key theory underpinning this strategy is that when we rank items, either statements, objects or images, we are required to make explicit the over- arching relationships by which we organise our knowledge and connect our learning. It can used as a starter or plenary and is suitable for middle to upper ability students as a stretch and challenge task. If you would like something aimed at middle to lower ability students, then please check out my card sort of this topic in my TES shop. This task is primarily designed to help students prioritise the different factors in preparation for an extended answer or essay. The resource nine diamond shaped cards which include a range of factors to explain why the US economy boomed in the 1920s. Once students have cut the cards out they are set three tasks including: Remove any reasons for the boom that you don’t think are important. Record and explain why you have removed them. Arrange the remaining diamonds to show any links that you can find between the different reasons. Record and explain your reasons. Make a smaller diamond shape using what you think are the four most important reasons why the US economy boom in the 1920’s. Record and explain your reasons. At each stage students should be feeding back to their group or the class and explaining their choices. The discussion and explanation around the choices that they have made are critical in helping them develop their thinking skills as well as their arguments for writing their essay. The aims and objectives for this lesson are: Theme: Why was there an economic boom in the 1920s? Know: What were the main reasons why the US economy grew? Understand: How did each factor help the economy boom? Evaluate: Which factors were the most important? WILF: What Am I Looking for? Identify & describe: The main reasons why the US economy boomed?

This outstanding resource makes a great starter, plenary or revision activity for students studying the Liberal Reforms 1911 - 1914. It is aimed at middle to higher ability students, but can be used with lower ability students with some support. I have produced another more straight forward card sort on 'How successful were the Liberal Reforms', which could be used along side this resource as a differentiated activity for lower and middle students. This resource includes two documents. The first is a blank living graph / continuum, which can be printed off in either A4 or A3 for your students. The second contains the cards / statements and quotes to be sorted for the living graph / continuum exercise. Once students have cut out the cards they can sort them into two columns effective / less effective before deciding how effective each card was and sticking it to the living graph / continuum. Once completed students can then use their answer to write an essay / conclusion on how effective the Liberal Reforms were at tackling the causes of poverty. The aims and objectives for this lesson are: Theme: The Liberal Reforms 1906 - 1918 Know: What reforms did the Liberals introduce? Understand: How far did these reforms improve the lives of different groups in British society? Evaluate: How effective were the Liberal Reforms at tackling the causes of poverty? WILF: What Am I Looking For?

This great revision video was made to help my students revise the Liberal Reforms and the importance of the introduction of the Old Age Pensions. I recorded the music with permission from Tony Capstick, whilst he was singing at the Main Street Working Men's Club in Mexborough in 1992. In the song, which is used as background to my slide show on old age prevision before the act, the workhouse and the work of the social reformers to raise the issue, Tony Capstick sings with the help of the audience, a folk song about Lloyd George and Old Age Pensions and how they rescued people from the workhouse. By the end of the video, its not unusual to have the whole class singing along. You can hear the old cash register in the background.

This resource focuses on getting students to assess who were the winners and losers of the Liberal Reforms so that they can understand who opposed and supported the reforms and begin to evaluate how effective these reforms were at addressing the issues of poverty. The first page of the resource includes a review exercise where students look at each reform using their prior knowledge and score in a table how a health working man, unhealthy working man, OAP, tax payer, children, Conservative member of the House of Lords, would have help felt about each reform. At the end of the task students then share their results and access who would have benefitted and opposed the reforms. On page two, students then use the continuum line to write on and represent who would have benefited the most from the Liberal Reforms compared to those who did not benefit. The results of these exercises can the be shared with the rest of the class to access who would oppose or support these reforms. It is important to point out to your students that many skilled working class men who had already privately insured themselves against sickness and unemployment may have opposed these reforms as they were playing twice. The aims and objectives of this lesson are: Theme: The Liberal Reforms 1906 - 1911 Know: What reforms did the Liberals introduced? Understand: Who were the winners and losers as a result of these reforms? Evaluate: Why did certain groups support or oppose these reforms? WILF: What Am I Looking For? Identify and describe: What reforms did the Liberals introduce? Explain: Who benefitted and lost out as a result of the Liberal Reforms? Analyse: Why did certain groups support or oppose these reforms? If you like this resource then why not check out my other resources and revision guides on this topic in my TES shop.

These revision notes focus on the Liberal Reforms 1906 - 1911, what measures were passed, who opposed them and who benefitted and lost out as a result of the reforms. The resource includes five pages of sources, information and activities. The notes on pages one and two are bullet pointed and set the reforms into their context and look at the different groups they tried to help and who opposed them. I have also included some political cartoons from the time period to get across the different attitudes of the opposition to the reforms. On pages 3 and 4, I have included two review activities. The First is a review sheet where students look at each reform and score in a table how a health working man, unhealthy working man, OAP, tax payer, children, Conservative member of the House of Lords, would have help felt about each reform. At the end of the task students then share their results and access who would have benefitted and opposed the reforms. On page four, students then use the continuum line to write on and represent who would have benefited the most from the Liberal Reforms compared to those who did not benefit. Whilst one page five, there are a series of focus revision questions to help guide students to the key knowledge that they will need.

This four page study guide deals with the topic of why the Liberals won a landslide victory in 1906, by looking at the mistakes made by the Conservative Party in the period 1899 - 1906. If you are studying GCSE Modern World History, this topic was added into the new specification in 2013, but there are no text books dealing with this important part of the new specification. These notes are suitable for GCSE and A Level students. The resource includes information and sources on the election campaign in 1906 as well as the following topics which contributed to the Conservatives defeat: Boer War, Chinese Slavery, Social Reform, New Liberalism and Free Trade. The notes that included have been bullet pointed and written in a style that is accessible to the full ability range at KS4 or ages 14 to 16. I have tried to include sources that stand a good chance of coming up in the exam on Chinese labour, free trade and lack of social reform. In terms of activities, I have included a thinking skills review triangle activity which could be completed in groups or pairs and then fed back to the rest of the class. Ideally, I would recommend doing mind map exercise on this topic with your students with each issue being a separate branch. The aims and objectives for this revision lesson are: Theme: Liberal Reforms Know: Why did the Liberals win a landslide victory in 1906? Understand: What role did the issues of Free Trade, the Boer War, Chinese Slavery and lack of social reform play in making the Conservative Party increasingly unpopular? Understand: How far was New Liberalism responsible for the Conservative defeat in 1906? Evaluate: What was the most important factor in the Conservative election defeat in 1906? WILF: What Am I Looking For? Identify and describe: Why did the Liberals win a landslide victory in 1906? Explain: What factors contributed to the unpopularity of the Conservative Party in 1906? Analyse: Why was New Liberalism more attractive to working class voters? If you like this resource then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop.
