How useful (skills builder/revision lesson) (WW1 Medicine on the Western Front: Edexcel 9-1)
THIS FULLY DIFFERENTIATED LESSON HAS BEEN PLANNED TO FIT HALF WAY THROUGH THE WW1 MEDICINE UNIT (AFTER THE CHAIN OF EVACUATION) BUT WILL ALSO BE DELIVERED AS A REVISION LESSON AT THE END OF THE COURSE TO CURRENT EXAM CLASSES.

Recall the stages of the chain of evacuation.
Describe how to structure a how useful question using the mark scheme.
Explain how useful a source is to a historian enquiring about the chain of evacuation.
Analyse our work using the mark scheme to identify successes and targets.
task one: pupils put the chain of evacuation into order and describe each stage using key words only
task two: pupils annotate a mark scheme, can be done under a visualiser, using the same method as the examiners of paper three (Judgement, analysis, knowledge) discussion with pupils about what key things mean within the mark scheme.
task three: pupils annotate the sources in pairs, question prompts on the board to support less able (underline three key facts etc) before going over it on the visualiser
task four: Pupils answer a how useful question in timed conditions - this can be marked or I have included a peer/self assessment activity where pupils mark their own work and improve it using colour coding and a full mark answer.
i have included a worksheet summarising the chain of evacuation in case this is being used as a revision lesson rather than within original teaching - this may be useful for lower ability pupils within a normal scheme of work as well.
