*Full Lesson* Mao's China: Cultural Revolution - Attacks on the Four Olds (Edexcel A-Level History)

This is the third lesson in a series covering the new Edexcel A-Level History unit: Mao's China 1949 - 1976. This series of lessons covers Key Topic Three: The Cultural Revolution and its Aftermath, 1966 - 76

The lesson is ready to teach and includes all worksheets and sources. The lessons refer to the textbook "Communist States in the Twentieth Century " (Bunce, 2015 - Hodder) although other textbooks could be used with the lessons.

During the lesson pupils will:
* Complete a thinking task about things during the Cultural Revolution that were deemed counter revolutionary.
* Investigate the attack on the grave of Wu Xun as an example of the attacks on the four olds.
* Use the text to research attacks on the four olds to create an argument against an Historic quote.
* Complete a card sort looking at the economic, social and political consequences of the attacks on the four olds.
* Conduct a debate to decide the biggest impact of the Cultural Revolution/attacks on the four olds.
* Investigate and evaluate the attacks against Mao's political enemies.

This lesson is based on a double lesson (100 minutes) but could easily be broken up into a number of smaller lessons.
