USA L2 - Was Prohibition Doomed to Fail?

This lesson contains:

• A starter which builds on L1 about the boom. You can edit this to change it whatever you want.

• An engaging discussion with images of men pouring alcohol away. This gets the students thinking about the extreme reactions to Prohibition, and what Prohibition might mean.

• An activity to use an information sheet to complete the first part of their Cornell Notes on why Prohibition was brought into place.

• A task to complete their Cornell Notes either from the teacher explanation using the on-board information, or they can be printed and students can share the information in groups. This covers bootlegging, speakeasys, moonshine and other things that relate to the Prohibition era.

• A video and a slide that summarise why Prohibition failed. Students make a judgement about what was the greatest cause of Prohibition failing.
