The aim of this lesson is to allow pupils to explore the 1965 'Watts Riot' as a case study linking in with the era of 'Black Power'. To start - have room ‘turned upside down’ – desks on sides – chairs turned over – information / interviews and pictures to be stuck around the room - hand pupils their investigation sheets as they walk in allow a certain amount of time to pass for pupils to lead their own learning here to discover what has happened, why, where, who and the outcome: Chips or paper money (print off) to be handed to pupils this can be exchanged for help from the teacher if they spend it however they lose a merit or sweets etc.. As a reward. Pupils then define a riot and feedback their findings to the teacher who leads a discussion about the riots and other riots which took place during this time before linking this knowledge to interpreting a source of evidence form the riot. Pupils are then introduced to the 'Kerner Report' which then allows pupils to demonstrate their knowledge with a judgment line activity about the impact of these riots upon the civil rights Movements. Video plenary which of modern day link riot which similarly took place in Ferguson, Missouri, 2014.
