Card Sort - Repeal of the Corn Laws

(0)
The repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846, was a major turning point in British History. At the heart of the debate on their repeal was what role should the government play in society, should it govern in the interests of the landed elite or in the majority?The Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel took the decision to put ‘Country before Party’ and enlisted the help of the Duke of Wellington to help force it through Parliament as his last act before retiring from politics. The debate over the Corn Laws was fierce both inside and out of Parliament with the Anti-Corn Law League pushing for a ‘Free Trade’ policy in the hope of reducing tarriffs to help the poor. The ‘Protectionist’ or ‘Free Trade’ argument has divided British politics ever since and was at the heart of the Brexit debate. Due to the complexities to the debate surrounding the Corn Laws, they are rarely studied at KS3, but this outstanding lesson, which has been field tested and refined in the classroom cleverly reduces the key issues to understandable bitesizes. The core task revolves around a card sort which gets students to sort through arguments both for and against the Corn Laws. The PowerPoint been designed to support the card sort provides information slides, sources, video links, tasks to not only help provide some fun and engaging activities for your students, but deepen and extend their understanding. When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a one page Word Document which contains a learning objective, instruction for the card sort, two heading cards and 18 information cards to be sorted under them. I have also provided this as a PDF file.

These activities include a speech writing activity for either Sir Robert Peel advocating the Corn Laws or an MP opposing their abolition. This is backed up with a peer review sheets and guidance on how to write a persuasive speech. Alternatively, you could set your students the extended writing task to explain why the Corn Laws were repealed. I have also included several plenaries that you can choose from including a thinking skills review triangle activity. For more information please review the preview. This lesson is aimed at higher ability KS3 students but is also suitable for students studying this topic at GCSE or A Level. The aims and objectives are: Theme: Popular Protest in the 19th Century Know: Why were the Corn Laws introduced in 1804? Understand: Why did the Anti-Corn Law League want them repealed? Evaluate: Why were the Corn Laws abolished in 1846? Skills: Source Analysis, Cause, Consequence & Collaboration WILF – What Am I Looking For? Can You Describe: Why were the Corn Laws and introduced?

Card Sort: Should the Government Nationalise British Industry?

Card Sort: Should the Government Nationalise British Industry?

(0)
The debate on whether the government should nationalise certain parts of British Industry is a controversial topic. In the UK, public ownership has always been a tool to pick up the economic and social pieces after the private sector failed spectacularly. The 1945, the Labour government nationalised coal, the railways, and steel. But the main reason for state control over heavy industry was to rectify decades of deliberate under-investment by their owners. In other words, the taxpayer came to the rescue of private capital as in the case of the Banking Crisis in 2008. This outstanding resource is designed to help students sort through some of the arguments for and against both nationalisation and competition in the private sector. When you purchase this resource, you will be able to download a single page Word Document which contains a learning objective, instructions, two heading cards as well as sixteen statements that can sorted under them. The heading cards are labeled ‘Public Ownership is Good’ and ‘Privitisation is Better.’ However, these could easily be edited and labeled Arguments for Nationalisation’ and ‘Arguments Against’, depending upon the ability of your class. The main activity involves getting students to cut out the cards in lesson, sort them under the correct headings and then organise them into their most persuasive order before sticking sick them into their books. Once students have fed back their results to a class discussion, they can then have a go at writing a speech or extended answer on the debate. Alternatively, they can create a key and then sort through the cards and then stick the sheet into their book or you could cut out the cards and place them into an envelope for them to sort prior to a discussion on the topic. This is a great resource that can be easily adapted to suit your classroom and expectations. The aims of this lesson / activity are: Theme: Economic Understanding Know:What is the difference between a nationalised and privitised industry? Understand: What are the arguments for and against nationalisations? Evaluate: Should the government nationalise parts of the British economy? WILF - What am I Looking For? Identify and describe - the difference between a nationalised and privitised industry? Explain - What are the arguments for and against nationalisations? Analyse -Should the government nationalise parts of the British economy? If you like this resource then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop.

In late 1992, the UK government announced that it would begin a process to close its remaining 31 coal mines with the loss of 30,000 jobs.

Once students have cut out the cards and correctly matched the picture cards to both their correct heading and before and after labels, they can extend their understanding further by sorting them into their order of importance before sticking them into their books. The PowerPoint includes the aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, a snowballing starter, introduction and facilitates the card sort as well as including the correct final version. At each stage students should be feeding back to their group or the class and explaining their choices. The discussion and explanation around the choices that they have made are critical in helping them develop their understanding of the topic. The aims and objectives for this lesson are: Theme: Industrial Revolution 1750 - 1850 Know: How was industry organised before the Industrial Revolution? Understand: What changed as a result of the Industrial Revolution? Evaluate: which changes were the most important? WILF: What Am I Looking For?
