In this engaging lesson, children develop their understanding of Florence Nightingale, through exploring a number of sources, including:
-An image of a ward at the Scutari hospital at the time;
-A map presenting relevant places during the Crimean War;
-Extracts from her personal memoirs and guidance to nurses;
-Uniform lists for nurses at the time.
The learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through the following step-by-step journey:
-Knowledge Recall - gauging what children already know about Florence Nightingale and gathering what else they would like to know;
-Investigating sources, using the sources provided and a helpful research template;
-Sharing their findings with the other members of their class;
-Demonstrating their understanding through dramatic and creative activities;
-Completing plenary activities to demonstrate their understanding of each of the concepts learnt in the lesson;
-Self-reflecting on the extent to which they feel they have met the learning objective.
Included is the comprehensive PowerPoint presentation (around 20 slides), the sources, and the research template (in both Word and PDF).
In the past, I have used this lesson with children in KS1 (years 1 and 2) - the key learning is aligned with curriculum expectations for history. All images are licensed for commercial use.
