These questions are for an approx. six and two thirds-minute video, one of a set of five. This sheet is CHEAPER if you get them all in the bundle. I’ve only listed the sheets separately in order to make the bundle.
The BBC says “Historian David Olusoga investigates how British slave owners fought for compensation as the government moved towards abolishing slavery within the Empire in 1832. He outlines how abolitionists were forced to reluctantly accept that slaves were the legal property of their owners in order to get the legislation through Parliament. This concession meant that 20 million pounds (around 17 billion pounds today) was set aside to be shared out among 46,000 claimants, awarded by a ten man Slavery Compensation Commission. The slaves themselves received nothing.”
Differentiated! Both versions look very similar, but “B” version has subtle clues. 20 questions for the 6’ 40” film. .doc and .pdf of all sheets, link to video on all sheets. Answer sheet. Very easy to mark.
The BBC web-page (KS3 / KS4 History: British slave owners in the 1830s) has the video and teachers’ notes.
Please check that you can access the video before you download these sheets. All the links work when I upload. If my links no longer work, the videos may still be found elsewhere on YouTube, BBC Teach etc.
