This lesson should lead on from recently studying the Battles of WWI or Field Marshal Haig. Hook starter: As pupils enter the room the presentation will display an autonomously moving spot light to reveal a picture clue about the lesson. Learning Intention and differentiated outcomes (SMSC). Short blurb about how the Generals of WWI may have been misjudged. Starter: Discuss the picture showing all the the Generals and their statistics from The Great War, how many of them lived / died & how/ awarded medals etc. I have then allowed my pupils to watch Blackadder series 4 final episode 'Goodbye'. Pupils are to be critical of this and afterwards discuss if this was a true representation of war conditions / Generals. I have provided a YouTube link to the episode (In case it is taken down or it does not work, you may wish to purchase the DVD). I then use a judgment line to assess progress and gain pupil's opinions in relation to how far we can trust this episode to be reliable and then in relation to the learning intention question. Pupils finally consolidate though answering a structured 8 mark exam style question. If time I then ask my pupils to peer assess with WW / EBI. This lesson would work best having used sources in previous lesson to study WWI Generals / Marshals, I have used Haig in previous lessons. Pupils are encouraged to use this evidence to help construct their answers.

This lesson introduces the concept of Slavery and through a series of chunked tasks pupils will be able to define a slave and explain the causes of slavery by the end of the lesson. This lesson is perfect for an introduction to the slave experience or would link in nicely with a SOW on the British Empire. All videos are embedded with links also provided. This lesson could be completed without the need for exercise books. Pupils consolidate their learning at the end of the lesson through completing an exam style question which concentrates on pupils developing balanced answers.

This lesson is designed to round off and consolidate a SOW on 'Slavery' or 'The British Empire'. 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.

This lesson leads on from my previous lessons on Slavery (see my Slavery SOW bundle), however of course this lesson can be used in isolation to fit in with your own SOW. This aim of this lesson is to inform pupils about the experience of slave auctions from the slaves perspective. The lesson starts through introducing pupils to the concept of an auction. Pupils will then study primary narratives of slave auctions and work in teams in a literacy relay task to answer questions to help build their subject knowledge. I have differentiated this task for more / less able pupils. This is then followed by with a video (embedded and link provided) and an SMSC discussion. Pupils consolidate their learning through using their class work for that lesson to support their response to an exam style question.
