These fun and engaging lessons have been designed to teach a unit on the origins of the trade union movement in Britain and the founding of the Labour Party.
Each lesson includes a PowerPoint and Worksheet, which have also been converted to PDF just in case you haven’t got office. All the tasks and activities have been differentiated. We have gone to town on this topic so there are word searches, source questions, quizzes, missing word activities, extended writing tasks, heads and tails, starters, plenaries and videos clips in each lesson.
These resources are suitable for KS3, KS4 and could easily be used for an adult education class in the community.
Its really important to teach this topic as its often forgotten and missed out by fat too many schools, yet trade unionism is one of the key foundations of our democracy. This is reflected in the heavy discounting that I have applied to this bundle.

These tried and tested resource looks at one of the most amazing feats of the modern age, the building of the railways in Victorian Britain. The accomplishment of the navvies, often overlooked in history, rivals that of the pyramid builders and those who built the Great Wall of China. This resource is part of a series that have been written on the Transport Revolution. It follows on from the birth of the railways, but can be sued a stand alone resource.
The PowerPoint is design to support the worksheet, but can be used independently. The activities are designed to appeal to a wide range of learners. There are five activities in the PowerPoint including, a snowballing starter of the key words, a class debate, heads and tails, labelling exercise and a word search.
The aims and objectives are:
Theme: Transport Revolution 1750 - 1900
Know: What problems faced engineers whilst building the railways?
Understand: How did engineers overcome the shape of the land?
Evaluate: Why did the railways rapidly grow from 1850 – 1900?

If you are looking for a fun, interactive revision game that can be used as a starter or plenary then this resource for you. It particularly good at injecting a bit of competition which will draw in some of those under achieving students, especially the boys who might be very good at learning key facts via a game.
These revision cards cover the key factors that you will need to know for 19th Century Public Health in Britain. They make an excellent fun starter, mini plenary or plenary to any lesson. They can also be used by students as revision flash cards. I’ve provided them in word so you can easily adapt them for your own classes.
There are three main ways that you can use them. Game 1 involves getting students to read out the key words until the other guesses the topic correctly. Game 2 involves additional challenge and stretch by getting students to describe the topic without using any of the key words on the card. The third game, which adds an additional layer of fun or challenge involves playing a round of Pictionary or Charades.
I normally give my students 3 minutes of each round to help activate the learning and warm up the class. You could also have a freestyle round where students decide which game they want to play linked to their learning style. If you are trying to engage some under achieving boys, add some competition and get them to keep score in the back of their books.
I would recommend printing them off on card and getting your students to cut them out. Then put the cards into an envelope for class use.
If you are a student then keep them in your pocket and use them as a flash card to help you learn the key facts, If there is a term that you do not understand then as your teacher or do some extra research.
From a revision perspective, you can print off the cards and get your students to learn the key words for a test or for their exams. These are a win, win resource. The kids will love them and they will help to improve your results.
This resource is supplied in Microsoft Word so it can be easily edited and adapted to suit your students.
