This outstanding lesson has been designed to help students studying population movement 1750 - 1900. It had been field tested and refined many times and is a really fun and engaging lesson, which has a really big impact of students. It can be used with the full spectrum of ability as it includes a range of tasks and activities which can be selected in whole or part to suit your students. You will need access to You Tube in order to be able to access the song.
When you download this lesson you will be able to access a Microsoft Word document which contains the lyrics to the song ‘Dalesman’s Litany’ and PowerPoint. There is enough work to fully engage a normal class of students for at least one lesson.
The PowerPoint facilitates the lesson and includes aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, a snowballing starter. The next couple of slides set the scene and explains why Britain’s population was on the move. This is followed up by two source activities which could be print off and completed as an investigation or used as part of a class discussion to help set the scene for the main activity. The next slide is a pro and con thinking skills organiser on the problems facing historians when they use oral history as evidence. This could be competed as an activity or as a plenary. I have included a completed version at the end of the presentation.
The next activity involves playing the song by clicking on the hyperlink in show mode. I personally would give students a copy of the lyrics to annotate but if you are short on the photocopying budget then you can get around it by getting them in pairs or groups to write down the jobs / places that the person in the folk song has done / lived to help illustrate the impact of the changes on peoples lives…
The aims and objectives for this lesson are:
Theme: Why did Britain have an Industrial Revolution 1750 - 1900?
Know: Why was Britain’s population on the move 1750 – 1850?
Understand: What factors caused this change?
Evaluate: How useful is oral history as evidence about the past?
WILF: What Am I Looking For?
Identify and describe: Why was Britain’s population of the move?
Explain: What factors caused this change?
Analyse: How useful is oral history as historical evidence?

These resources have been designed to help students studying the historical controversy surrounding why Britain’s population increased from 1750 - 1900. They can be used with the full spectrum of ability as they include a range of tasks and activities which can be selected in whole or part to suit your classes.
When you purchase this lesson you will be able to download a worksheet, PowerPoint and a card sort. There is enough work to fully engage a normal class of students for two lessons.
The PowerPoint facilitates the lesson and includes aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, a snowballing starter or an alternative picture activity. The next section explains the historical controversy and sets up the task for the first lesson using the worksheet. The next part prepares students for the card sort. This is followed up with an optional assessment activity with pupil mark scheme and feedback sheet which can be easily adapted for your school’s assessment criteria.
The worksheet, includes an introduction which sets the scene and five sources that look at the issues of why Britain’s population increased. The first question gets students to summarise what they can learn from each source about why the population increased, whilst the follow up questions look deeper into the underlying causes and get students to compare and contrast them. The final question sets the scene for the next topic by getting students to draw up a list of the pros and cons of an expanding population.
The card sort includes 14 headings which need to be matched with 14 statements to explain why the ‘birth’ rate increased and the ‘death’ rate decreased. There are follow up tasks that can be used to help students do the assessment task if you wish.
The aims and objectives for this lesson are:
Theme: Why did Britain have an industrial revolution 1750 - 1900?
Know: Why did Britain’s population increased from 1750 - 1900?

Evaluate: How far was the population increase due to a decline in the death rate?
WILF: What Am I Looking For?
Identify and describe: Why the population increased in size?

The next two slides discuss the historical controversy and include quotes from historians supporting each interpretation. This is then followed up by completing the card sort activity. Once this is complete, students can then feedback and then do a follow up assessment on the topic. This optional, but I've included additional slides with a pupil mark scheme that can be easily adapted for to your own assessment scheme if necessary. At various points, I have included links to useful video clips. These can be accessed when the PP is in show mode by clicking on the play button.
The aims and objectives for this lesson are:
Theme: Why did some women get the vote in 1918?
Know: How did Emily Davison die?
Understand: How has her death been interpreted?
Evaluate: Was Emily Davison’s death a tragic accident or suicide?
WILF: What Am I Looking For?
Identify and describe: How did Emily Davison die?
Explain: How does the evidence support each interpretation?
Analyse: Make a judgement on whether her death was an accident or suicide?

This outstanding lesson has been designed to help students studying the controversy surrounding the death of Emily Davison. It can be used with the full spectrum of ability. If you wish, you can purchase both card sorts separately for less, under the headings of card sort: Emily Davison or Source Investigation: Emily Davison.
When you purchase this resource you will be able to download two fully editable Microsoft Word documents as well as a PowerPoint. The Word documents include aims, instructions, two heading cards labelled 'accident' and 'suicide.' Depending upon the ability of your class or how much time that you have to teach this topic, you can select either the two page source investigation card sort or the more straight forward single page information card sort. The PowerPoint presentation is designed to help facilitate the lesson and includes aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, appropriate video clip links, assessment questions, pupil mark schemes and feedback sheets.
The lesson kicks off with a snowballing starter activity, followed by a brief one side introduction to Emily Davison and her background. The next two slides discuss the historical controversy and include quotes from historians supporting each interpretation. This is then followed up by using either one or both of the card sorts - if you have a mixed ability class you could always use the other card sort to provide an additional layer of differentiation. Once the card sort exercise is complete, students can then feedback and then do a follow up assessment on the topic. This optional, but I've included additional slides with a pupil mark scheme that can be easily adapted for to your own assessment scheme if necessary. At various points, I have included links to useful video clips. These can be accessed when the PP is in show mode by clicking on the play button.

This carefully crafted resource, developed by seasoned educators and field tested and improved in the classroom, aims to enhance students’ critical thinking skills during the exploration of the Peasants’ Revolt in 1381.
Suitable for students across all ability levels, this versatile resource serves as a starter, plenary, revision tool, or assessment activity, with a particular focus on challenging high-achieving students who require stretch and challenge.
Following a short presentation, students engage in a diamond 9 activity to categorize consequences into ‘short’ and ‘long term’, before deciding which four were the most important or historically significant. Designed to cater to a diverse range of learners, this lesson includes supportive writing frameworks and thinking skills review tools to guide students in their decision-making processes and foster meaningful discussions and critical thinking.

Make a smaller diamond shape using the four most important consequences of the Peasants’ Revolt. Record and explain your reasons.
At each stage students should be feeding back to their group or the class and explaining their choices. The discussion and explanation around the choices that they have made are critical in helping them develop not only their critical thinking skills but their understanding of the topic.
