This product includes three one-hour lessons and an assessment focused on the main reasons for the end of the slave trade. The lessons are ideal for Key Stage 3. Each lesson includes a PowerPoint with step by step instructions, differentiated tasks (to 3 strands), extension challenges and high quality worksheets. The lessons focus on the key factors that led to the abolishment of the slave trade. Students learn through active student-led activities and open ended-questioning, which develop critical thinkers and develop the examination skills needed to form a point of view supported by the evidence. The differentiated worksheets and student response points are challenging yet accessible to all abilities. The assessment is a one hour source based question. There are a hints and tips document, literacy support document and a student friendly mark scheme with levels linked to the national curriculum. The assessment requires students to use their knowledge and skills developed from the three lessons to respond to a source based question. These lessons have been carefully created to allow students of all abilities to be challenged and to think critically about an important historical event. As always these lessons are teacher (and student) friendly. I hope that you and your students find these lessons to be helpful and engaging.
