Lesson outlining the causes of the 1984 miners’ strike. The lesson begins with a recap of right to buy. A video introduces the miners’ strike from the Welsh perspective so students can begin to make inferences. Pupils list the various reasons for the strike using the Oxford AQA textbook pp. 128-129 making links to the successes in 1972 and 1974; pupils then rank the causes in terms of significance using the cards. The lesson culminates in an analysis of three sources (two from June 2017 exam and one new Arthur Scargill source) focusing on the reasons given in each for the strike, leading to a judgement plenary on the ‘most valid’ source using the content only.
