The American West 1835-1895, GCSE 9-1 Edexcel

The aim of this lesson is to explore the challenges faced by Homesteaders in moving onto the Plains and setting up farms.

Students begin by deciding how different inventions could lead to improved farming techniques.

They also have to complete a true or false quiz, before using a thinking quilt to match up key facts with the correct questions.

The plenary is based around the ‘are you a robot?’ idea which is becoming all too familiar when we are trying to log into a specific website.

There is some follow up exam question practice using the ‘importance’ question worth 8 marks, with help given if required.

The resource is differentiated and gives suggested teaching strategies. Some recall retrieval practice is also included using a spider diagram.

It comes in Powerpoint format which can be amended and changed to suit.

American West Bundle Part 3

**Conflicts and conquest, The American West c.1876-c1895.** This bundle is the third part in a series of lessons I have created for Edexcel GCSE 9-1 The American West, c.1835-c1895 Students will be assessed on their knowledge and understanding of the conflicts and conquest with changes in the farming industry, the cattle industry and settlement. Students will learn about the establishment of law and order across the period. They will recognise the significance of key people such as Wyatt Earp, Billy the Kid and Benjamin Singleton. They will study the destruction of the Plain Indians way of life with events such as the Wounded Knee Massacre as well as the Range Wars and extermination of the Buffalo. Lessons will also target the cause and consequence of US government policy with the Dawes Act of 1887 and the declaration of the disappearance of an Indian Frontier. I have dispensed with individual learning objectives for each lesson to focus throughout on a specific enquiry based question which addresses the knowledge and skills required for the GCSE questions and shows progression in learning required during this course. Moreover it allows the students to critically think for themselves to decide who was benefitting from this rapid change to America as well as how and why. The lessons are as follows: L21 Changes to farming on the Plains L22 Changes in the Cattle Industry L23 Exoduster Movement L24 Billy the Kid L25 Wyatt Earp L26 Battle of Little Big Horn L27 Wounded Knee Massacre L28 Range Wars L29 Extermination of the Buffalo L30 Dawes Act of 1887 For assessment purposes each lesson is accompanied by one of the three exam questions with help and exam tips given if needed. These can be completed in the lesson or for homework tasks if required. The lessons are all differentiated and are tailored to enable the students to achieve the highest grades. The lessons come in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.
