This lesson looks at the novel Street Child and other primary and secondary sources to show what street life would have been like in Victorian London, specifically focusing on different street jobs.
After collecting relevant evidence, there is a literacy opportunity for students to create a piece of empathetic writing; their own depiction of a typical street scene in Victorian London.
In this lesson, pupils get an introduction to the Liberal Reforms of 1906-1911 by examining the studies into poverty that contributed to these political milestones.
It also provides pupils with two additional learning opportunities: gaining an insight into the research behind Booth’s Wealth & Poverty Map of 1901, and developing an understanding of the effort involved in putting such research together. Pupils will assume the persona of either a researcher or a London family.
How good are your students at reading and analysing written sources? What are they able to infer from them, and how can that be used to inform their understanding?
In this lesson plan, Tim Wright suggests taking a more creative approach to the study of written sources, so that students can see for themselves just what a powerful complement to images and video clips they can be.
Introduce Nelson and his historical significance within our island’s story. Why was he the subject of so much hero worship? What do paintings of Nelson’s life show us about how he was viewed – and what evidence within these paintings tell us this? A great way to consider the qualities of leadership within a KS3 history lesson.
At first sight, the 18th century can appear to students as one of the harshest, most bloody periods of British judicial history, especially once they are shown the well-trodden ground of the list of crimes punishable by death by the end of the century.
Even the name assigned to laws of this period – The Bloody Code – evokes a sense of foreboding, but there are questions to be answered. What was the Bloody Code? What attitudes and factors led to the Bloody Code? Did it work? Compared to other periods, how ‘bloody’ was it?
In this lesson, students will answer those questions and gain a real insight into the attitudes that led to one of the dubbed ‘bloodiest’ periods of Britain’s judicial history by using primary source material and real courtroom judgements. They will understand which factors influenced it, compare levels of change and continuity over time and be able to access and examine primary source and archive material.
Jeff Tooze’s pacey lesson suggestion will get every student in the room competing to absorb the most information possible.
This exciting approach to the Historic Environment component of the new History GCSE will ignite curiosity in students and enable them to understand the developments of medicine and warfare and identify links set in the Western Front environment itself.
