The Welfare State: Poverty and Public Health in 1900

The first lesson in a Key stage 3 unit of work on the Welfare State. The lesson introduces the conditions that the poor had to endure in the early 1900’s through the use of video clips and sources. The pupils complete a text analysis that summarises the political situation in regards to public health. We then look at the Liberal Reforms that were introduced by the Liberal Government in 1906 and then successive governments. The pupils complete an information hunt and complete a hexagon task in which they explain how the reforms help tackle poverty poor health.

I hope that this proves useful and saves you some time.
