Have you considered studying The First World War? It’s a vast topic that encompasses all on your list. People think that it’s all about guns, bombs and death but there’s so much more! Plus, plenty of resources from video clips, documentaries, poems, letters, paintings, posters and postcards.

I’m a History Teacher in Britain and I just love this topic. You can look at some of the following within the larger picture:

• The Homefront - DORA (Defence of the Realm Act), mining communities, factories, the changing roles of women, etc.

• Theatres of War - From the U-boats of the Atlantic to the war in Manchuria and the African Front. Soldiers from around the Empire and their role in fighting. Plus the attitudes of empire at the time.

• Medicine - X-Ray units, plastic surgery, Thomas split, blood transfusions, etc.

• War poetry - Wilfred Owens is one of the famous names but there’s loads more. You can also go into other creative pieces like Tolkien’s work.

• Propaganda and recruitment

• Role of women - Look into the Suffragist/suffragettes movement and the fight for equality before and after the war.

• Food and rationing, both on the front and at home.

• Politics - you could discuss the class system and the creation of the Soviet Union and political ideas.

You get the idea. It’s a massive topic which you can look at from many points of view. If you like some good resources check BBC Teach. It has plenty of video clips.

I've covered a ton of historical women from all over the world here -- it's comics and writeups, not worksheets, but still perhaps of interest: https://www.rejectedprincesses.com/princesses

Note that not every one of these will be appropriate for every 10-year-old, but I've tried to delineate the content on each entry on the side of the page (giving them maturity ratings and content tags at the top). The search page allows you to filter by that as well. There's a map function and a set of collections may be helpful as well. Hope you like this!

Here are a couple of resources to explore:

http://www.c3teachers.org/inquiries/ (You can search by topic and grade)

http://readinquirewrite.umich.edu/interpretation/investigations/ These investigations are for 6th grade, but could work.

https://www.tolerance.org/classroom-resources/lessons You can filter by grade, social justice domain, subject and topic

Let me know if you still can't find something that's just right!

Have you considered perhaps the Civil Rights Movement? I know not absolutely everything can be appropriate to teach to a 10 year old but perhaps focusing on the positive stories of activism etc. That helped to change people’s perceptions and help achieve equality in the US could be a positive triumph-over-adversity story. Will also help teach compassion and unity at a time when these things are being undermined by panic and fear - and of course lots of video clips etc. To show! Just a thought.
