This outstanding resource, which has been tried and tested over many years is designed to help inject a bit of fun, engage and help students to understand why the German army was so successful from 1939 - 1940. Both the PowerPoint and the worksheet has been beautifully illustrated throughout and the tasks and activities are suitable for the full range of abilities. The planning sheet and follow up literacy exercise will keep your students fully engaged whilst providing a useful piece of work for assessment or display. When you download this resource you will receive a fourteen slide PowerPoint, a four page worksheet, a planning sheet to help students plan their own invasion using the Blitzkrieg tactics and a literacy task sheet that can be used in lesson or set as homework. The PowerPoint is designed to accompany the worksheet and contains the aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, pictures diagrams and links to video clips, that you will need to teach the lesson. Everything has also been uploaded as a PDF just in case you don’t have access to Microsoft Office. The key focus of the lesson is to look at how the Blitzkrieg tactics worked by looking at the different weapons and tactics used at each stage. The worksheet includes differentiated activities and questions, but the main activity is to get students to apply what they have learnt by planning their own Blitzkrieg attack in either pairs or groups using the supplied planning sheet. Everything is simply explained and you do not need to be an expert to be able to enjoy this memorable lesson. Ideally, I would spend two lessons on this topic, you can always miss out the questions or trim things here or there if you wanted to only spend one lesson, but that would be a shame but your students will love this topic! The aims and objectives of the lesson are: Theme: The Second World War Know: What were the key features of a Blitzkrieg? Understand: The differences between trench warfare and a Blitzkrieg? Evaluate: Why the German Army was successful 1940 - 1940 WILF – What Am I Looking For? Can You Describe: The the key features of a Blitzkrieg?

There are several extension activities that you an then so with the sorted statements. Firstly, they could create a key to label some of the statements 'Relief, Recovery or Reform.' Secondly, they could use the sorted statements to attempt an extended question on: 'How successful was the New Deal from 1933 - 1941. Theme: The USA in the 1930s. Know: What 'action' did FDR take through his New Deal to help the American economy recover? Understand: In what areas of the economy did the New Deal succeed / fail?

Activity 1 is a snowballing starter using the keywords. Full instructions included. Activity 2 is a review activity designed to test students prior knowledge. They are given 5 factors why the cattle industry developed and are then expected to write a sentence explaining why they think it would help it to develop. Activity 3, builds upon Activity 2 by getting students to improve their answers in (purple pen) after having reviewed 5 slides explaining why the cattle industry developed. I have built some additional discussion questions into these slides to help students connect their learning with some of the reasons why the industry later declines. Activities 4 - 7, deal with the decline of the industry. Activity 4 is a summary exercise, whilst Activity 5 is a card sort. Once students have reviewed the information, they are expected to sort the cards to create 5 PEE’s paragraphs explaining why Cattle Ranching declined. I have supplied a colour coded answer sheet to display onto the IWB to help students review their answers. Activity 6, is a past paper question with built in structure and support on 'The disastrous winter of 1886-87 was the most important reason for the end of the open range’. How far do you agree with this statement? The final activity provides students with an AFL student mark scheme to help them peer assess their answers.

Slave Resistance

(0)
This outstanding lesson on slave resistance looks at the different ways in which Black people challenged slavery. It also tries to answer the difficult question about why some people did not try and run away by contextualising the learning and looking at the experiences of former veterans and prisoners who have struggled to cope with adjusting to an unstructured life of freedom. Unlike other resources on this topic, this lesson also looks at the contrasting experiences of Black people in the USA, Jamaica and Haiti and how they had to adjust the way in which they resisted slavery to suit the problems and different challenges they faced. Finally, this lesson poses the question, how successful was slave resistance and links it’s importance to the abolition debate. Did you know that more British soldiers died trying to maintain slavery in the Caribbean, than died fighting to free Europe from Napoleon?

What is slavery and why was it abolished?

(0)
This outstanding lesson is designed to be an introduction to Britain and the Slave Trade and help students understand not only the origins of slavery, but the difference between a wage earner and a slave and why slavery was eventually abolished. Now this might seem like a lot to ask, but this lesson has been carefully crafted and field tested by experienced teachers. The lesson opens by explaining the origins of slavery in classical times. It them moves on to compare and contrast the rights and freedoms of slaves with serfs, indentured servants and finally wage earners. This is all linked into the wider context of British history. The lesson then rounds off with a source analysis of Adam’s comments about slavery and why it was expensive, inefficient and costly compared to employing wage earners. This helps to provide a broad overview within which you can then explore the slave trade and its eventual abolition. This lesson is suitable for the full range of ability.
