KS2 History Unit on Development/Victorians

This history inquiry unit plan and powerpoint resources are focused on the macro-concept ‘Development’. The central case study which continues to run through the inquiry is the ‘Victorian Age’. Ultimately, the inquiry involves a series of activities which focus on the following concepts: industrialisation, technology, invention and communication. These activities are concept formation lessons. However, there are also lessons/activities which include case studies (some Victorian , some fictional, some from other areas of history). There is also a plan for an initial Victorian Day including powerpoint resources. The case studies are intended to focus on each of the concepts. There are also reflection activities and assessments. Finally, there is an initial and final assessment where the children must draw / write their interpretations of the concepts they have covered.
