It starts with an analysis of the Reagan speech (a short 4 minute video available on YouTube), before students categorise the problems facing the USSR and Gorbachev's potential solutions. These solutions are discussed, with students prioritising the problems and solutions, and identifying that the 'solution' for problems in Eastern Europe isn't really a solution at all!

***This is a scheme of work for KS3 (9-1) Year 7*** ***If you would like me to upload and sell the lessons from this scheme of work, I'd appreciate you leaving a comment below. This will help me to gauge whether there is an appetite for me to sell these lesson resources. Thanks!*** This PDF contains a complete scheme of work for Key Stage 3 Year 7. The only thing missing are the assessments – these can easily be fit around the topics included depending on departmental requirements. The pedagogy behind these lessons is to develop two aspects of historical knowledge – knowledge and understanding (aspect 1) and sources and interpretations (aspect 2). This will help students to develop the key skills required for the new 2017 9-1 History GCSEs. Second order skills of causation, change and continuity, significance, diversity, evidence and interpretation are also embedded in lessons as suited to the topics. sjhistory
