The British Empire

The aim of the lesson is to assess the importance of apartheid in South Africa both politically and economically.

The lesson begins by giving the context of South Africa being part of the British Empire and it move toward independence and the introduction of apartheid.

Students have a quiz to complete as well as source scholarship on its introduction in 1948.

They also evaluate the restrictions it imposed on the non white population of South Africa, where they are required to give their opinions on it as well as the significance at the time, overtime and nowadays.

The lesson also focuses on the impact of the ANC and Nelson Mandela’s contribution to a modern South Africa and the part he played in ending apartheid.

There are some excellent video links to his life and work as well as the Soweto uprising of 1976.

The lesson concludes with a diamond nine activity to prioritise the main reasons why apartheid came to an end.

The lesson comes with suggested teaching and learning strategies and are linked to the latest historical interpretations, video clips and debate.

The lesson is enquiry based with a key question posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning.

The lesson is fully adaptable in PowerPoint format and can be changed to suit.
