These 2 Power Points were designed to accompany a 'Victorian' box, on load from a local museum. The lessons were planned for a group of Y7 students, all with autism - therefore speaking, listening and attention skills were also targeted, together with more general social skills. Students also struggled with theory of mind / speech and language which the describing activity and game sought to target. My young people really enjoyed these lessons and the activities were completed over several weeks. If you are lucky enough to have a local museum which loans topics boxes then that wold be ideal, however the activities would also work if you have your own set of Victorian learning resources.
