Victorian Context lesson for AQA 19th Century Novel (Dickens and others). Theme: Victorian notions of Family.
Originally, planned for students studying AQA English Literature A Christmas Carol, but c**an be used for any 19th Century text **(by Dickens, Hardy, Bronte Sisters etc) with the theme of family.
Lesson Conceit:
Google has asked your students to create an Artificial Intelligence (AI) that will think and react like a Victorian.
This pioneering AI project will transform the way we study the Victorians and read Novels like A Christmas Carol.
Google is not asking you to build a Victorian search engine; AI is more than just a clever search tool. Google wants you to build a life-size prototype that can respond to complex queries about Victorian values and beliefs concerning domesticity, specially the concept of Family.
A resource rich lesson including:
- Topographical surveys (maps of Victorian London)
- Extracts from Art Critics and Philosophers writing during the Victorian era
- Copies of seminal paintings from Victorian painters
- Extract describing London from Dickens’ Hard Times.
Differentiated resources:
- LA – images of Victorian life; map of London.
- MA – Victorian Novel extracts
- HA – Philosophical extracts.
- All – all resources have ‘thinking’ prompts and questions to guide student enquiry.
