Pupils begin by voicing their views on modern day slavery. This is linked with a variety of clips (To use at your discretion) to educate pupils on modern day slavery focused upon child labour / sweatshops.
Pupils explain why this is wrong / how this could be stopped. This can then be linked to views on abolishing the Slave Trade in 1807. Pupils will then work in teams in a literacy relay style activity (Explained in Presentation) to answer focused questions on the main individuals involved in helping abolish the slave trade in Britain.
The main task is centred around pupils using evidence to support an argument to end slavery which they could pitch to Parliament in 1807. This is evidence I have used in past lessons (See my shop) However, this would not make a difference if you have not used these lessons.
I have included stretch and challenge sources for the more able pupils to be critical of and use in their arguments. (Differentiated)
I have included further more detailed instructions and additional resources within the presentation itself. All videos have links provided / are embedded within the slide show.
