The Industrial Revolution
The aim of this lesson to assess why and how Britain adopted a police force in the Nineteenth Century.
Students will be posed a number of questions throughout the lesson including:
- Why was there a need for a police force in England and Wales?
- Why did the Government set up the Metropolitan Police Force which later spread throughout the country?
- How did the population react to such a force and was there support or opposition to it?
- How were the police initially equipped o take on their roles and what qualifications did you need to join the police. *
Students will analyse these questions through visual images, written prose, a true or false quiz, video evidence, source analysis and a question thinking quilt.
They will also evaluate the effectiveness of the police force throughout and by using causational equations at the end of the lesson.
The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning.
The resource comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.
I have also included suggested teaching strategies to deliver the lesson and there are differentiated materials included.
