This is the perfect lesson to use for Remembrance Day on 11th November, it is a lesson introducing and commemorating the diverse Soldiers of the British Empire that served in World War One, from places including the Caribbean; the Indian subcontinent, Africa and other Commonwealth countries. #BlackLivesMatter

In this lesson the students will be able to choose and research a woman of the British Empire. This is an opportunity to explore what life was like for people living under the British Empire in the Caribbean; West Africa and the Indian Subcontinent. This lesson is great for diverse and inclusive history lessons; it also focuses entirely on women so is definitely a diverse lesson!

This is L4 from a 4/5 lesson enquiry; entitled ‘**How far were the Windrush Generation welcomed to Britain?’ The lesson is entitled ‘How adequately have the Windrush Generation be commemorated?’ This enquiry was initially designed as a compare/ contrast enquiry following a traditional USA Civil Rights enquiry. It could be taught to a higher able year 8 class, but due to the inclusion of GCSE style activities/ questions, it is best suited to teach in year 9. This enquiry could also be condensed down for stand alone Black History Month lessons in October or for Windrush Day learning activities in June. The lessons include : a clear and straight - forward lesson plan on the first slide clearly labelled student resources on the slides (no fuss of looking through extra docs.) differentiated/ SEN/ EAL resources included guidance/ extra info for teachers in the ‘notes’ section NOTE: this lesson was unable to upload as part of the bundle, you can get it as a reduced price if you buy it with all the other lessons in the enquiry, available here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/windrush-generation-12154511
