This is the third lesson in a series covering the new Edexcel A-Level History unit: Britain losing and gaining an Empire 1763 - 1914.
This series of lessons covers the fifth depth study: The Nile Valley, 1882–98.
The lesson is ready to teach and includes all resources in the power point. The lessons refer to the textbook "Britain: Losing and gaining and Empire, 1763 - 1914" (Christie, 2016 Pearson) although other textbooks could be used with the lessons.
During this lesson, pupils will:
* Evaluate a variety of images of General Gordon, his memorials and descriptions of him to infer aspects of his significance to the British Empire.
* Investigate Gordon's eventual fate through and image of his head being delivered to the Mahdi and an extract from the film "Khartoum"
* Link to previous learning about Egypt and use a map to identify reasons why Sudan was significant to the British. Use information from the text to support this learning.
* Complete a source analysis to identify Gordon's instructions in terms of Sudan and any ways he might have misinterpreted these orders given his character.
* Debate the statement - “General Charles Gordon was an idealistic imperialist who was looking for a way to sacrifice himself for the cause of the Empire”
* Begin to consider Prime Minister Gladstone's role and the British reaction to Gordon's death
