This Unit is ideal for providing evidence of English across the curriculum. Drawing on the new History Curriculum and focussing on Aims: Strands 4 and 5 this resource includes: A collection of nine extended quotes (with summary information) from contemporary sources, An explanation of five activities that can be carried out using these resources Planning Templates to support arguments and a chart to help summarise arguments about Workhouses Learning Objectives • To understand historical concepts such as continuity and change, cause and consequence, similarity, difference and significance, • To make connections, draw contrasts, analyse trends, frame historically-valid questions and create their own structured accounts, including written narratives and analyses • To understand the methods of historical enquiry, including how evidence is used rigorously to make historical claims, and discern how and why contrasting arguments and interpretations of the past have been constructed. Learning Outcomes: Pupils will be able to: • Recognise the difference between fact and opinion. • recognise and discern between arguments made for and against education. • draw on primary resources to produce a reasoned debate on the pros and cons of universal education. • produce their own persuasive argument in favour (or against) the introduction of universal education. • produce a balanced argument on the advantages and disadvantages of universal education. • Produce their own written narrative of life in a school.
