This product includes three one-hour lessons and an assessment focused on the main reasons for the end of the slave trade. The lessons are ideal for Key Stage 3. Each lesson includes a PowerPoint with step by step instructions, differentiated tasks (to 3 strands), extension challenges and high quality worksheets. The lessons focus on the key factors that led to the abolishment of the slave trade. Students learn through active student-led activities and open ended-questioning, which develop critical thinkers and develop the examination skills needed to form a point of view supported by the evidence. The differentiated worksheets and student response points are challenging yet accessible to all abilities. The assessment is a one hour source based question. There are a hints and tips document, literacy support document and a student friendly mark scheme with levels linked to the national curriculum. The assessment requires students to use their knowledge and skills developed from the three lessons to respond to a source based question. These lessons have been carefully created to allow students of all abilities to be challenged and to think critically about an important historical event.
