I'm an experienced history teacher, educated at the University of Sussex, who has worked in two 'outstanding' inner city London schools. I am currently head of history at a large school in East London. I am particularly knowledgeable in both AQA spec B and Edexcel Spec B. I try to focus on lessons which are both knowledge and skills based and incorporate a wide variety of teaching and learning strategies; particularly independent learning.

Abyssinian and Manchurian Crisis: 10 Mark Prep (AQA Spec B)

(0)
All images sourced from Google images ‘labelled for reuse’ and licensed under Public Domain NB: You need AQA Spec B textbook to go alongside this lesson. It takes roughly 4-5 lessons to cover all the activities in the powerpoint. This lesson was developed to aid students' understanding of the Manchurian Crisis and the Abyssinian Crisis, as well as developing their 10 mark question skills (AQA Spec B paper one). I had found that many of my students really struggled with the details of both the Manchurian and Abyssinian Crises as such a range of new concepts are introduced. I developed this lesson as a response to that, and they have been achieving much higher grades on these topics since I have been teaching it this way. This lesson also includes a breakdown on answering ten mark questions.
