This lesson is designed to round off and consolidate a SOW on 'Slavery' or 'The British Empire'. Pupils begin by voicing their views on modern day slavery. This is linked with a variety of clips (To use at your discretion) to educate pupils on modern day slavery focused upon child labour / sweatshops. Pupils explain why this is wrong / how this could be stopped. This can then be linked to views on abolishing the Slave Trade in 1807. Pupils will then work in teams in a literacy relay style activity (Explained in Presentation) to answer focused questions on the main individuals involved in helping abolish the slave trade in Britain. The main task is centred around pupils using evidence to support an argument to end slavery which they could pitch to Parliament in 1807. This is evidence I have used in past lessons (See my shop) However, this would not make a difference if you have not used these lessons. I have included stretch and challenge sources for the more able pupils to be critical of and use in their arguments. (Differentiated) I have included further more detailed instructions and additional resources within the presentation itself. All videos have links provided / are embedded within the slide show.

Included: PowerPoint with embedded video / instructions / song links & opportunity to learn beyond the classroom. Mystery Sources Peep Sheet (Help envelope to differentiate) Song Lyrics sheet. Sources for Silent debate. 2 source evaluation Homework's to help pupils consolidate learning at home. Lesson Plan to help guide you through the whole lesson. You will also need A3/A1 paper for 'Silent Debate' activity.

This pack contains two lessons. Lessons outcomes are: Expected: To study the life of a famous Naval soldier. (SMSC) Challenge: To explain a famous battle at sea, its causes and consequences. Stretch: To use source evidence to support an exam style question. The first lesson consists of a case study regarding Jack Cornwell and his importance to a ‘famous naval battle’. At the age of only 16, he was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross and was the youngest British to take part in the battle). Pupils will study his story from a cut out card sort activity catagorising information about his life. Pupils then reassemble to card sort into a jigsaw to reveal that he died as a result of the Battle of Jutland. Pupils are then encouraged to complete further research about other British men who fought in the battle (computers will be required of this, otherwise I have set it as a Homework). The second lesson allows pupils to study source evidence (primary and secondary) to help reach the lessons outcomes. Pupils then consolidate the past 2 lessons with an exam style question. Then pupils can use the success criteria to peer assess with WW / EBI to identify areas of improvement regarding their extended writing. The presentation itself is aesthetically pleasing and engaging with lots of colour including moving Giff images. All videos are embedded (links also provided). I highly recommend having an ‘interactive’ station for the second lesson as there is a fantastic website (link included) which allows pupils to listen to first hand accounts of the battle from survivors. The lessons finish with how the Battle is remembered today 100 years on.

Lesson Plan: Pupils watch a choice of videos to then chronologically arrange a card sort into the events of the day. The main task is literacy relay where pupils will work in teams to answer the questions related to the lessons learning intention. Finally pupils will form a personal judgment regarding: Did the USA deserve all the blame for 9/11? Videos are embedded into the presentation, however I have also provided the links for these as well. I have used this lesson to form part of my history lesson on terrorism through time, however this could also be used for RE / Social Studies / PSHE.
