Finally the students use the data to write a report about what the issues are, why they exist and what should be done. Literacy support included.

A lesson that challenges students to analyse a range of sources in order to extract evidence linked to a set of given categories to help identify what living and working conditions were like during the period. Once they have identified these and their causes, they discuss the evidence to reach a judgment about the greatest problems faced, before writing up a report on what conditions were like and why they were so bad. The more able students are challenged to offer possible solutions to the problems that they have identified. As always there are clear instructions and differentiated activities to suit all abilities.
