The purpose of this lesson is for pupils to be introduce to the origins of the 'Black #Power Movement' through a case study of Malcolm X.
Pupils will begin by viewing a video of the only meeting between MLK and X - this leads into good discussion about why this was so significant as both had the same aims but opposing ways of achieving them.
Pupils then conduct a short literacy relay activity to introduce the life and different identities of Malcolm X.
Childhood: Malcolm Little. 1920s
He was known as Detroit Red in the early 1940s.
He took the name of Malcolm X in 1952.
Finally changed his name to El-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz in 1964.
Pupils then split into groups to study into one aspect of his life (Computer or laptops are suggested but of not available I have included lots of information about Malcolm's life).
Pupils then consolidate their learning into a paragraph which the teacher can then use to create a revision document about Malcolm's life.
Further advice can be found in the description of the presentation. All videos are embedded (Links provided).
This lesson is cantered around the various bombing raids conducted by the US in Vietnam. Pupils will access and develop this information though exam style techniques.
the lesson begins with a short introduction from a documentary to set the scene of, ‘Operation Rolling Thunder’. students will use two interpretations to decide upon the main difference in views regarding this (support sheets included for less able) . I have also included a students friendly mark scheme for self /peer assessment.
students will then work in groups of three to complete a worksheet categorizing the successes and failures of:
1. Operation rolling thunder.
2. Operation Cedar Falls
3. Operation Ranch hand.
Students will then be provided with a choice of questions with an accompanying student friendly mark scheme to plan a 16 Mark answer which can then be completed for Homework.
the lesson finishes with a judgment line activity where students can verbalize their overall judgments regarding the success of these ‘Search and Destroy’ Operations.

This lesson is designed to inform students about the TET offensive in order to enable them to explain why it was a significant turning point in the War leading to US public opposition. Students then will study different interpretations of the TET to then explain why they interpret it differently.
Hook starter: A Selection of images for students to study upon entrance to class encouraging them to reflect upon how they would feel if they were seeing these images on TV.
Students watch a video clip (Embedded) and are supplied with contextual knowledge via the PEEP SHEET if required. Students are encouraged to explain the significance of the TET and why it led to increased public opposition.
Students then apply their knowledge to an exam style question (Why do interpretations one and two have different opinions about the success of the TET).
WAGOL is then provided as students peer assess.
Lesson ends with a rounding up of students opinions about why the TET was a turning point.
easily enough to cover more than one lesson. Further instructions / video clips are included within the description of the presentation.
the purpose of this lesson is to focus upon the reasons for the failure of Vietnamisation and how this led to the US eventually fully withdrawing troops from Vietnam for good.

1. Identify the reasons for the failure of Vietnamisation.
2. Focus upon categorizing these reasons.
3. forming a judgment about the most significant reason.
students watch a consolidation video (embedded). Students will then have acquired enough knowledge to complete the worksheet provided.
Exam Preparation:
students will then be provided with an exam style question from paper 3. "How far do you agree with interpretation 1/2 about.."
Students are to use this completed work sheet for support but I have also provided a 'Peep sheet' for less able learners.
