This lesson is designed to take around two lessons. The students begin the lesson by recapping their understanding of the industrial revolution so that they can understand the connections between it and Victorian workhouses. Students then go on to complete a square of inference where they will analyse a contemporary source about workhouse schools. Following on from this a detailed discussion should be held about the way our current government deals with vulnerable people. They will consider similarities and differences between the current government and Victorian governments. Students will question the morality of both systems and consider how/if they feel vulnerable people in society should be supported by the state. Students will then be introduced to Dickens' representation of Oliver Twist through an extract of the 1968 musical. Lesson Two will be an analysis of a variety of contemporary sources which students will analyse in order for them to understand how accurate Dickens' representation of the workhouses was. Finally students will create a human continuum where they will place themselves based on how accurate they find Dickens' representation of the workhouses to be.

Students are then asked to read the text on their topic and after that have 20 minutes to answer the questions on their topic that they have been given. They must do this by symbolising their answers using no more than ten words and as many words, numbers, symbols as they want. After the 20 mins is up, one student stays at their table and the others take their A3 worksheet and go shopping in the market place to find the answers to all their questions. One student stays and teaches those that come to their market place. At the end the students go back to their table and 'teach the teacher'. At the end you ask the students to revise their answers for a knowledge test at the beginning of the next lesson.

All of this knowledge will be important as we go through. The unit then looks at the justice systems in Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Norman and Late Middle Age England.
