This lesson covers the conditions within the factories and can be taught in one lesson (or perhaps two depending on progress and omission of slides). FREE elements available in the shop.

Pass - if you can identify and describe the conditions from the sources Success- if you can explain why the sources would change people’s viewpoints Challenge - if you can evaluate which sources would have the greatest impact on Parliament, so they are justified to pass laws.

This lesson serves as an introduction to the Jacobites and how symbolism is used by them to export their message of rebellion. The main task is to understand and create a symbol for Jacobite. usage or you could insert Jacobite images and have student analyse the imagery for the symbolism they have just uncovered. There are info and activity sheets for them to complete. I gained a round of applause from a class after getting the bulk of this done in an interview lesson that lasted 30 minutes. The students continued to work on it after I left! There is enough here for TWO lessons if you have not covered symbolism or any aspect of the Jacobites before.

This is a good coda lesson after you have taught about the Abolitionists and the End of Slavery in Great Britain. It makes use of the song as evidence and frames the factors behind abolition in a different light. I recommend having different versions of the song, so you can have them playing for students unfamiliar with the song. Home Free Vocal Band have a wonderful acapella version.

These lessons allow you to explore the causes in different ways. They do work without textbooks.

There are model answers and various supporting documents for them to use. These lessons can be combined. You can make use of the Wordles as fascinators or starter activities. The word searches can be starters or homework activities. There is a FREE version of some of these resources.

These are very basic sheets that here for you to download and edit. I did these for a class I while ago who asked me "What does Left and Right mean when they say it on the news?"

This worksheet is to be used with the Blackadder III - Dish and Dishonesty episode. There is a source analysis exercise on the back of the sheet. https://inews.co.uk/essentials/culture/television/blackadder-election-episode-dish-and-dishonesty/

These resources work well as part of a lesson on Refugees or Immigrants. They are there to support your lesson and provoke thought of the matter. @teacherstevo
