“My purpose is to engage students in dialogue so they can see others’ points of view – in a world that needs this more than ever. I do this by sharing lessons on this site which connect students with the past and inspire critical thinking.
Please read below to find details about this one.” Dan
This lesson is crucial to an understanding of the USA in the 1920s. Students begin by exploring how First World War propaganda impacted on marketing techniques with a detailed PPT before progressing to a very detailed set of notes. From this students complete a worksheet designed to explore the significance of various 1920s inventions. The lesson concludes with a Dingbats-style plenary to test comprehension. My class always make exceptional progress in this lesson and I hope yours find it just as useful.
This resource contains information sheets, question sheets and answer sheets for percentage yield and atom economy. I use this resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry Quantitative Chemistry topic in paper 1. It can also be used for A Level chemistry. Students can complete the questions as the main task in a lesson and keep the information sheet as a resource. A level students should find this a comfortable starter.
This is a diamond 9 card sort to categorise and prioritise the reasons that the US economy had weaknesses in the 1920s.
As an extension, you can challenge students to explain the more / less important reasons, and who was most affected by different problems – this is scaffolded for weaker students.
This can lead to a class discussion.
Categories could include, but not be limited to, farmers unemployed, black Americans and others.
Powerpoint presentation made on Canva. The powerpoint features outstanding resources to get students to analyse and understand the economic impact of WW2 on the US economy.
The presentation addresses the following points:
To undersand how WW2 pulled America out of the Great Depression.
To explain how America benefited economically from the Second World War.
To evaluate whether the New Deal or WW2 was more important to tackle the Great Depression.
This powerpoint can be used for AQA, WJEC/Eduqas, Edexcel exam boards.
AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2B: In this lesson we introduce the economy and how it has changed over time and why.
The lesson starts with a quick retrieval practice quiz. We then introduce the idea of the economy with the pupils completing a Frayer model, we then look at where the UK is in international standings currently and where it might be in the future. We then look at the structure of the economy, we remind ourselves of the different sectors with a sorting task and then look at how the UK’s economy has changed over time. The pupils complete a worksheet and complete a pie chart. We then look at the main drivers in this change and the pupils use information sheets/slides to complete a worksheet. We then finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

These resources look at the key reasons why the US economy boomed in the 1920s. I've included a PowerPoint, two worksheets and some revision / dingbat cards on the key features of the USA in the 1920s. Woven into the fabric of the PowerPoint and worksheets are two past paper questions which can be easily adapted to suit your assessment criteria. These resources are ideal for foundation and core students and include a range of DART stratedgies including a mix of true and false statements, missing word as well as traditional digging deeper questions.
Both the PowerPoint and the worksheets focus on the key role played by the car industry in stimulating demand and pioneering mass production techniques. These resources are ideal for foundation and core students.
The learning objectives are as follows:
Theme: Why did the US Economy Boom in the 1920s?
Know: Who was Henry Ford and why was he so successful?
Understand: How did assembly lines, unskilled workers and standardisation help to cut production costs?
Evaluate: How did car production contribute to the US Boom and the cycle of prosperity?
WILF – What Am I Looking For?

The Role and Purpose of Marketing & Market Research
This engaging and fully resourced activity helps students explore the key reasons behind the economic boom in the United States during the 1920s. It works perfectly as part of a wider enquiry into the causes of the boom or as a stand-alone lesson or revision activity, and it’s suitable for a wide range of abilities.
Students begin by cutting out or colour-coding twenty statement cards and sorting them under eight key headings: impact of the First World War, credit, confidence, natural resources, technological change, Republican policies, marketing, and mass production. The resource includes a challenge extension: a thinking skills “review triangle” task that encourages students to prioritise and evaluate which factors were most important in driving economic growth. This makes it an excellent foundation for essay planning or extended writing.
For lower-ability groups, teachers can use only the first page with fourteen statement cards for a more accessible version of the task.
Learning aims and objectives:
Theme: Why was there an economic boom in the 1920s?
Know: The main reasons for US economic growth.
Understand: How each factor contributed to the boom.
Evaluate: Which factors were the most significant.
WILF (What I’m Looking For):
Can You Describe: The key causes of the boom;
Can You Explain: How each contributed to rapid growth
Can You Analyse: Which were most important overall.

A lesson in a SOW intended for a three year GCSE looking at the AQA: America 1920 -1973. Students look at the impact of the car industry on America. The lesson is largely teacher led with information and question to pose to the class, as well as discussion about images and graphs.
There is a GCSE question included with sentence starters for the less able and challenge tasks to stretch the top end. There is also a model answer for students to evaluate as a class or on their own.
The previous lesson introduced the students to the circular economy. In this activity, students will be asked to design their own product or service fit for a circular economy. The product or service will allow the materials and energy to rejoin a circular flow.
This activity includes two learning activities focused on designing a product or a service. It also includes presentations showing case studies to be used as a visual aid.
Subjects: Economics, Sociology, Business, Citizenship, Design Technology
Age range: 12-19 years
Total time: 120 minutes
Learning outcomes:
• To learn about companies that have adopted the circular economy framework
• To design a product or service based on the circular economy
About the Circular Economy
"The circular economy is a new way to design, make, and use things within the limits of our planet. In the natural world, materials and nutrients cycle continuously, allowing the Earth’s biosphere to regenerate and for all lifeforms - humans included - to flourish. This insight lies at the heart of the circular economy. Instead of using things for a short time before throwing them away, in a circular economy everything is designed to fit within a cycle so it can be used again and again.
The concept is based on three principles, driven by design, and underpinned by a transition to renewable energy:
1 - Eliminate waste and pollution
2 - Keep products and materials in use
3 - Regenerate natural systems
Using these principles, we can create a system that restores biodiversity, addresses climate change, and makes the most of our planet’s limited resources. Such a system could work for the economy, society, and environment - making it a truly sustainable model for our future prosperity. "
About The Ellen MacArthur Foundation
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, an international charity, develops and promotes the idea of a circular economy in order to tackle some of the biggest challenges of our time, such as plastic pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss. We work with, and aim to inspire, business, academia, policymakers, and institutions to mobilise systems solutions at scale, globally.
