1. Key Stage 3 What drove people to migrate? The First Jewish Community

This is the first lesson in the What drove people to migrate? series of lessons for a half term. This series of lessons is designed to follow on directly from the Migration to Britain series of lessons available to buy in my shop.

The aim of this lesson is toe enable students to describe at least 3 facts about the first Jewish community iN England, analyse sources to understand how the Jews were persecuted and then judge how successful the first Jewish community was.

This lesson consists of a power point with all resources and information included. The power point includes:

• New Topic slide
• Title slide with joke and riddle
• Differentiated SMART learning objectives
• Starter: word association game with help sheet of key words, individuals, themes and groups of migrants
• Activity 1: Jigsaw group task to learn and note the key points in the story of the first Jewish community in Britain. An information sheet and differentiated version are included. Important that the teacher circulates each group to ensure work is being completed.
• Activity 2: Source investigation were students work in pairs to highlight examples of how Jews were persecuted in England. I would recommend printing the sources for the students and ask them to stick into their books.
• Activity 3: Students read an interpretation about the first Jewish community and write a sentence about how they were treated and what their role was. Interpretation is included with a differentiated version for lower ability students
• Plenary: recap of why it is important to learn about migration to Britain- students must use the cryptic picture clues to identify the 6 main reasons why it is important to study migration
• Homework: Students must create a memorial to the victims from the first Jewish community
