Two lessons on the Cuban Missile Crisis which put pupils in the position of the American President in the build up to the crisis and the crisis itself.

This lesson has been developed using some of the resources from the site studyhistory.co.uk. It begins by presenting the general attitude towards Mary with the nursery rhyme. Pupils then read about the common story and work in pairs to explain the two pictures which would support the argument that Mary is 'bloody'. They are then presented to a more balanced argument with the card sort which is followed by a tennis debate and a levelled piece of writing. Hope it's of some use.

Students carry out Dragon's Den style pitches. The information to help with the pitches is on the final few slides on the PPT. Credit for the idea for this resource needs to go to one of my department Miss N Brown.
