This is a PowerPoint used to teach students about Queen Victoria as part of a Humanities topic. As students all had autism, it is highly structured to ensure pupils were aware of what the lesson involved and what they needed to do. This reduced anxiety for several very anxious pupils. Independent working is stressed as this was a development point for the group in question. Taught to Year 7 pupils with social communication difficulties, including autism, as a general'Humanities' lesson. Speaking, listening, classroom and social skills were prioritised. Also suitable for older / younger students. PowerPoint is editable.
