Bussa and Slave Rebellion in Barbados

This resource may be used as a stand alone lesson, or to follow on from other lessons on Toussaint L'Ouverture and Haitan independence (resources for this available in my shop). All activities and resources necessary are on the PowerPoint, although you will want to print some slides to allow students to complete the active listening task and perhaps so they can have the questions/ sources in front of them.

Aimed at KS3, (students aged 11-14) the lesson objectives are:
* To be able to describe what happened in the slave rebellion in Barbados in 1816
* To be able to find similarities between sources
* To be able to evaluate why a source may have one point of view
* To demonstrate how newspapers can give one sided information on history

This resource includes a variety of tasks including a 'Bussa Bingo' task for active listening while students watch a video clip. A set of questions on the content of the clip, two sources and questions asking students to compare these and use the origin of the sources to explain the differences.
