Migration Nation The aim of this lesson is to assess which individuals from the Caribbean had the greatest impact on British society before the Windrush generation. This lesson is therefore the first part out of two focusing on Caribbean migration to Britain. I have selected four individuals to discuss, address, highlight and evaluate: Mary Seacole, Mary Prince, Harold Moody and Walter Tull. Each character is assessed using information given on their contribution to Britain, from autobiographies to sport, to medicine and changes in the law. Ultimately using some select criteria, students have to make a judgement on who had the biggest impact upon Britain at the time. There are video links, source analysis as well as literacy and extended writing tasks on each person. The lesson comes in PowerPoint format and can be changed and adapted to suit. The lesson is differentiated, fully resourced and includes suggested teaching strategies.

The Industrial Revolution The aim of this lesson is to assess how close to revolution England became as a result of the actions of the Luddites in Northern England and the Rebecca Riots in Wales. This lesson is therefore split into two. Firstly students are given context of the heightened tensions and the fears of the Government with events abroad. To piece together the story of the Luddites, they are required to analyse two sources and use video evidence, before they decide how much of a threat the Luddites were to the authorities. They will than have to judge and explain their reasoning using some statements given. The second part of the lesson will make a comparison with the Rebecca Riots in Wales. Students will learn about the events and seriousness of the riots through a multiple choice quiz, with points awarded for the correct answers, to make it competitive. They will then have to decide which actions of both proved the most serious and hence which posed more of a threat to the authorities. This can be seen in the aftermath and how they dealt with those involved. There are a number of literacy activities to complete including definitions, finding the missing words and unscrambling key words in the plenary. The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning. The resource comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change. I have also included suggested teaching strategies to deliver the lesson and there are differentiated materials included.

Migration Nation The aim of this lesson is to evaluate the causes and consequences of Irish migration to Britain and its significance today.

Students are given the context to Irish migration to Britain before they analyse the causes of consequences of the Irish famine. They can complete part of a GCSE style question if required. They are then given information on the part played by Irish navvies in the Industrial Revolution and prioritise there impact. Finally they study Irish culture in Britain today and evaluate how it has impacted upon Britain today through an extended writing task. They is help given with structure here if required. There are video links to the lesson and an odd one out activity at the end to consolidate the learning of the lesson.

The aim of this lesson is to evaluate why the Titanic sank and ultimately who was to blame for the disaster. The lesson therefore focuses on the errors made, not just by the Captain, but on the owners and the design of the ship, as well as some sensationalist reports of it being unsinkable in the media. Students begin by showing their knowledge of the sinking as well as explaining why there is still such a fascination about studying this topic, from exhibitions to books and films. They are given the context to its maiden voyage as well as some misconceptions about the ship which the students have to decipher. There are some sources to analyse and infer from, before students are given a number of facts of where the responsibility may lie for the sinking. They will use this information to make a judgement and decide in their opinion who was to blame. There are some excellent video links to use, including a survivor’s testimony. A final find and fix plenary will also centre around other misconceptions about the Titanic which they have to pick out and correct. The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning. The resource comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change. I have also included suggested teaching strategies to deliver the lesson and there are differentiated materials included, such as a rating grid of responsibility for the disaster.
