A lesson looking at the construction of and the ramifications of the Berlin Wall. **Tes shows the slides out of sequence, but the actual download is fine** This lesson covers the Checkpoint standoff, Kennedy and his Berliner speech and a few other bits.

**The actual download is in the correct order. Preview is out of sequence due to some issue with TES***. This lesson is intended for Year 7, but could be modified for older students. It is my take on 'je suis le roi'. Students read the cartoon, update the map and write about what happened. When it is done, they get the next cartoon etc. They should work in small groups 2-4 students per group. Students can then see the spread of Norman influence as on the map. WARNING it takes ages to make due to cutting out the tokens, but once you have made it you just top them up when needed every year. I would advise keeping tokens in packs (envelopes). I hope you enjoy it. Please remember that I have shared this for free, please do so too.
