History Lesson on the Georgians - Intro

This package contains a PowerPoint, 2 worksheets and a video link and introduces the Georgian Era.

The PowerPoint explains the position of the Georgian Era on a historical timeline, mentioning the Tudors, Stuarts and Victorians. It gives links to useful websites and contains a timeline exercise, in which students have to find out (or match) dates to important events in the Georgian Era.

There is probably more information here on the Tutors and Stuarts than might be necessary, but it is helpful to teachers who might be teaching this topic for the first time (as I was).

The first worksheet can be completed by students while or after watching the first episode of The First Georgians - The German Kings who Made Britain (YouTube link provided).

As a homework or second class exercise, students can fill in the second worksheet, a gap-fill exercise on An Introduction to the Georgian Era.

I used this material for a bright Year 6 class but it would be suitable for KS3, too.
