This lesson has been written to help students understand some of the key words that we use in history. It has been designed to be a fun an interactive first lesson that will get them sharing and working together, whilst also giving you time to give out the exercise books and organize your seating plans for the class. When you download this free resource you will be able to access a PowerPoint that contains aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, tasks, photocopy templates and activities. You will also be able to download this and the word search in a PDF format, just in case you do not have access to Microsoft Office. The lesson begins with a white board task on what key words do they already know by jotting down at least five key words they already know. This is then passed around the group so that other students can add to the list. After four rounds, I usually get each group to feedback their results and write the words on the board. I would then give out the word search and give them 5 to 10 minutes to complete the task before asking them to feedback and annotate a copy of the word search either on the IWB or logging into the website and competing the interactive version. Once this task is complete, I then set them the heads and tails activity which gets them to match up the key words with their correct definitions, once again feeding back in the same way. Finally, I would consolidate the lesson by getting them to create a history dictionary of key words in the back of their book, which they can finish off for homework. The aims and objectives of this lesson are: Theme: Introduction to History Know: What key words do we use in our history lessons? Understand: What these words mean? Evaluate: When we should try to use some of them? WILF – What Am I Looking For? Can You Describe: some of the key words that we use in history Can You Explain: What these words mean? Can You Evaluate: When we should try to use some of them? If you like this resource then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop.
