Teacher then goes through some starter quick fire true / false questions with the students to recall learning. Students think pair share what Hyperinflation could mean before it is outlines by the teacher (opportunity for student rewards). Students then watch a short embedded video about how Germany was impacted by the TOV which led to Hyperinflation.

1920s USA: Immigration Experience - How Tolerant Was US Society?

(0)
The purpose of this lesson is to help students address the question, “To what extent was US society tolerant?” Through a series of student led tasks and fits into a bigger picture of a 1920s USA Depth Study. Hook: Students enter with dictionaries on their desks and are challenged to define ‘Immigrant’ or ‘Immigration’. Teacher takes feedback and introduces lesson title / outcomes. Students then watch an introductory video (Embedded) with an option to further define that ‘intolerant’ means. Starter: students are provided with a worksheet about the concerns US society had about immigrants in the 1920s. Students are challenged to categories these into – social – economic – political reasons before teacher takes feedback with a WAGGOL on the board. Main: Teacher shows another video (Embedded) and students are challenged to identify all the problems that they faced. Students each receive an ‘immigration experience’ sheet and one information sheet per table. Students to summarize. Circulate the class and select a student on each table who seems to have really grasped the topic. These students are to then stay behind at their table whilst the rest of the class circulate and spend 5 minutes each being peer taught about the immigration topic by the student who was selected to stay behind. Students can then summarize the experience of immigrants at this time in either a freeze frame or in a written task as a plenary. I have included additional information / videos in the presentation which could be used by the teacher to further support this task. Separate task for more able: I have included a work sheet, information sheet / video which more able students could be set as a separate task encouraging them to consider Native Americans and their experience provided the fact they were treated almost the same as immigrants despite being natives. A source evaluation homework sheet is also included. All videos and sound are embedded into the PP with links provided. **Please see my shop for other History resources and bundles. ** https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/morlem

1920s USA: Entertainment, Sports and Leisure time.

(0)
The purpose of this lesson is to enable students to gain an overview of how leisure time was spent during the 1920s through a collaborative student led task. Hook: Students enter with information placed around the room about a famous Hollywood actress from the 1920s, students are posed with the question, why did she find it difficult to find work by 1930? (Answer she was eastern Europe and after ‘talkie’ films began native English speakers found it hard to understand her. Teacher takes feedback introduces lessons title / outcomes. Starter: Students watch a short video clip (embedded) about 1920s entertainment, students to list as many leisure activities as they can. Teacher then introduces the main task where these identified forms of entertainment will be built upon. Main Task: Pupils work in teams to collect information from sources around the room. Pupils are allowed about 30 mins to gather the information to then use it to create a fact file / spider diagram on large A1 paper … Or individually on A4 paper. If they work in teams I usually then take a photo of each teams work and shrink them down to a4 to stick in books. Pupils should then have the knowledge to answer the assessment question either at the end of the lesson or the lesson after depending on how long this task takes. All explained in the PP itself. I have have included a peep sheet for further differentiation. There is an opportunity to watch a clip from the first ever talkie film ‘The Jaz Singer’, this is a good discussion point as it also links in with racism in the 1920s USA as well. Plenary: Students use their fact film to answer an exam style explain question now (easily adaptable structure strips included for differentiation). Homework: Students could be challenged to watch ‘The Great Gatsby’ and I have included 2 differentiated worksheets to go with the film, students to look out for varying forms of entertainment, but also other features of 1920s USA such as speakeasies, Jaz, racism, prohibition, flappers etc. All videos are embedded.

There are a lot of resources included in this pack. The following information is how I have ran the lesson in the past; but please change and adapt the resources to suit your teaching style / pupils. I hope you find them useful. Pass the parcel style starter where pupils work out the lessons topic. I wrap up a bar of chocolate and place a ‘clue card’ on each layer. Alternatively you could give a card to different groups who must act out for the rest of the class to guess their word (Spelling together ‘the Nazi Soviet Pact’) Pupils will visit 5 stations around the classroom to help answer the question ‘Why did Hitler and Stalin sign the Nazi-soviet pact?’ NOTE: You will need additional material for station 4. Station 1: atch video Station 2: Visual Cartoon Source + map of Poland showing how it would be invaded and divided by both countries (simple). (white board pens can be used to label countries / make notes if you laminate the sheets) (visual learners) Station 3: Source table – sources A-F – differentiation: Some easier to understand + read than others) (Again – white board pens can be used to circle / underline key text) (for those who prefer reading) Station 4: touch and feel boxes – Box 1 – contains a clock and a bomb to show that both sides would be bought time but the bomb indicates that war would eventually commence. Box 2: contains a small wooden pole and some grass = Pole-Land = to show that both sides would befit from dividing Poland between them. (Kinaesthetic learners) Station5 : (The Secret station) – A3 information sheet which consolidates everything that happened to lead to the pact being signed with benefits for both sides) This will be revealed half way through the lesson. Pupils can then answer exam style question before peer assessing.
