Assessment on causes of 1905 revolution
This lesson is for the Component 1 teaching of Democracy. It examines the development of suffrage in the UK and milestones which led to this and examines more recent debates about the growth of suffrage e.g. Votes for 16 and the voting rights for prisoners.
If you can get hold of a copy of Blackadder III Dish and Dishonesty it is well worth it- so funny for the state of Democracy in the 19th Century but it is not essential for this lesson. Obviously I cannot share this for copyright reasons.
All other resources are included.

Edexcel Politics Alevel
Lessons on Ideologies as a whole and Liberalism as a topic for the Edexcel 2017 spec.
I teach Liberalism first because it makes MUCH more sense since it was developed first as an Ideology and Conservatism was a response to it.
This bundle includes the first 7 lessons (2 hours each) intro and activities, Core Values with independent research (uses hand outs from Pearson and Haywood book) and Explanation of the Core Values but you could use some of the slides if you don’t have the textbook.
Lesson 5 ends up developing a plan for the essay:
To what extent do Liberals agree on the State? (24 marks)
I taught these lessons to my Year 13 class and they worked really well for discussion. Also includes some embedded videos and worksheets.
EDIT: I have now amended this resource and added some additional files.
If you have already paid for it- you should be able to redownload the bundle.
