COVID has shown us how vital it is to plug the gaps in knowledge if students have missed lessons due to absence, so I have created these catch-up sheets which can be place in students books if they miss core content lessons during their study of the American West unit for the Edexcel exam board.
These can be easily printed off and placed in a folder, so that when a student is absent you can select the correct lesson and stick it into their book for them to catch up in their own time.
I have aimed to put the essential knowledge in however they are easy to edit if you want to add more detail/customise them to how you teach the American West scheme of work.
This knowledge organiser has been designed to follow the Edexcel GCSE USA Conflict at Home and Abroad: Civil Rights and Vietnam unit. It include a breakdown of the key information for the unit, ‘cold’ and ‘hot’ questions which I use for homework and back pages filled with example questions, timelines and key words/spellings.
The knowledge organiser is 28 pages long, and therefore can be printed as an A4 booklet for students to keep with them for revision/homework.

This short scheme of lessons has been designed for our year 9 students in History, following their study of WWI, the Holocaust, WWI and the Cold War.
I have left the resources free of branding/my school procedures so that they can adapted to suit your context.
Lesson 1 - Introduction to communist rule in China
This sets up how China becomes communist alongside European events (WWI/WWII/Cold War) and the alliance made between China and the USSR.
Lesson 2 - Industrial and agricultural changes
This lesson focused on the five year plans adopted by Mao and the success/failures of the Great Leap Forward.
Lesson 3 - Cultural Revolution and the Culture of Mao
This lesson looks at how Mao becomes an icon through the Little Red Book and how the Red Guard were used to subvert Chinese culture and cause terror.
Lesson 4 - Social changes for women and the family
For this lesson students will look at the changes made towards women under Mao, assessing significant/limited changes towards the social status of women.
Lesson 5 - From Mao to modern day China
This lesson looks at the legacy of Mao and introduces some key issues in modern day China. This is the shortest of all the lessons and is mostly based on news reports (videos and articles). I plan to edit this further to suit my school’s context, with a growing Hong-Kong population, but I’m conscious this may not relevant all schools/contexts.
I have created a lesson for LGBTQ+ history month focusing on being a homosexual in Nazi Germany. The intention is to integrate the themed history month into the curriculum rather than have a tokenistic ‘LGBTQ+ history month’ lesson that has no relevance to the current scheme of learning.
This has been designed for Year 9 to appear during their topic on the Holocaust, but could be adapted to suit your context.

This lesson looks to debunk the colonial views of Africa and its people perpetuated by European colonisers. It allows students to explore the justifications for slavery and study conflicting sources to show how European settlers and colonisers warped African history to suit their agenda.
The lesson begins with a hook image to discuss views towards people from Africa, the content of the lesson is difficult and can open up genuine discussion regarding racism both in the 18th Century and modern day.
This pack includes a powerpoint, researched sources in the form of a handout and a lesson plan to guide you through the material. Answers are provided on the powerpoint which can be edited to suit your school setting.

This has been designed for Year 9 to appear during their topic on the Rise of Hitler, but could be adapted to suit your context.
I have created a lesson for LGBTQ+ history month focusing on being gay in 16th and 17th Century Europe. The intention is to integrate the themed history month into the curriculum rather than have a tokenistic ‘LGBTQ+ history month’ lesson that has no relevance to the current scheme of learning.
This has been designed for Year 8 to appear between their topic on Elizabeth I and the English Civil War, but it could be adapted to suit your context.
