Industrial Revolution: What can the Middle Class Victorian home tell us about the Victorians?

(0)
Aimed at Year 8: This lesson is an interactive lesson that gets students to investigate the Victorian Home. The lesson gets students to choose a room by clicking on parts of the house and its takes them inside the room with pictures and information. This works work in a computer room where students can make their way through it at their own pace. However, I’ve done it in a normal classroom and its worked just as well. There is a worksheet for them to complete, though many in my class made notes on their own. There is also a writing frame for the question at the end for those that need help with writing.

A timer that works well for spotlight and quickfire questioning. Choose one student to sit in front of the projected screen whilst other students then have a minute to ask as many questions before the mummy moves forward and attacks. This works well for a competition to see how many questions each student can answer. Have introduced a leader board for each class. Comes with sound effects with Egyptian tomb themed music which can be switched off if desired.

A great way to end a lesson. Split the class into two teams then either ask questions to the class and which ever team answer gets to attack the other person. The first to three attacks win. Each attack is animated and with sound affects. All year groups have loved this. I’ve also made it into a debate battle where teams aim to out debate each other with a change to attack the other.
