This pack contains two lessons.
Lessons outcomes are:
Expected: To study the life of a famous Naval soldier. (SMSC)
Challenge: To explain a famous battle at sea, its causes and consequences.
Stretch: To use source evidence to support an exam style question.
The first lesson consists of a case study regarding Jack Cornwell and his importance to a ‘famous naval battle’. At the age of only 16, he was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross and was the youngest British to take part in the battle). Pupils will study his story from a cut out card sort activity catagorising information about his life. Pupils then reassemble to card sort into a jigsaw to reveal that he died as a result of the Battle of Jutland. Pupils are then encouraged to complete further research about other British men who fought in the battle (computers will be required of this, otherwise I have set it as a Homework).
The second lesson allows pupils to study source evidence (primary and secondary) to help reach the lessons outcomes. Pupils then consolidate the past 2 lessons with an exam style question. Then pupils can use the success criteria to peer assess with WW / EBI to identify areas of improvement regarding their extended writing.
The presentation itself is aesthetically pleasing and engaging with lots of colour including moving Giff images. All videos are embedded (links also provided).
I highly recommend having an ‘interactive’ station for the second lesson as there is a fantastic website (link included) which allows pupils to listen to first hand accounts of the battle from survivors.
The lessons finish with how the Battle is remembered today 100 years on.
This lesson could be used for one lesson. However, to gain the most out of this I suggest using it over a two lesson period dependent upon how much detail / discussion you wish to go into.
Hook starter: As pupils enter the room the presentation will display an autonomously moving spot light to reveal a picture clue about the lesson.
Learning Intention and differentiated outcomes (SMSC). The lesson is structured in order to achieve the learning outcomes:
Expected: You can describe & explain the problems on the Home-front. (SMSC).
Challenge: You can explain how DORA & rationing helped overcome these.
Stretch: You can evaluate and analyse the impact of government intervention.
Activities include a museum walk of propaganda posters, a diamond 9 ranking task of DORA's laws, discussion points from videos (SMSC / modern day link opportunities). Pupils finally consolidate though answering a structured 8 mark exam style question. If time I then ask my pupils to peer assess with WW / EBI.
Videos are embedded or I have included the links in the presentation description.
