Lesson exploring why Britain followed (and then accelerated) a policy of decolonisation 1951-64.
The lesson starts with images exploring why the Empire was significant, leading to an introduction to the policy of decolonisation. Pupils then analyse part of Macmillan’s ‘winds of change’ speech assessing content, then value. In pairs pupils investigate two examples of decolonisation, then snowball to complete the table. Students then rank the reasons for the acceleration of decolonisation at this time, assessing which is most significant. The plenary is a clip of the ‘winds of change’ speech, asking students to assess if we can trust this as a key reason for decolonisation.
This lesson, and the two previous will be utilised in a 25 mark essay planning lesson next in the learning sequence.
