China History IGCSE – Events & Consequences of the Long March

Part of the China: Conflict, Crisis and Change 1900–1989 course, this lesson is designed for the Edexcel IGCSE Breadth Study but is in-depth enough to work for any China history course. It features a wide range of activities and approaches, and is a fully self-contained lesson, requiring no textbook.

Each lesson in this scheme of work is designed so that teachers can deliver at least a “Good” rated lesson, if not “Outstanding”, straight away. Assessment and activity types are introduced and revisited based on a retrieval grid to maximise learning and embed knowledge and skills.

Estimated lesson length: 45–60 minutes (but many lessons can extend over two or even three sessions depending on teacher judgement).

Each lesson includes as a minimum:

Numeracy and literacy challenges

Keywords to add to a student glossary

EAL support sheets

Stretch and challenge activities

Teacher quick start guide

Literacy support mats

Homework extension task mats

Context slide for the lesson
