Links to the National Curriculum for Key Stage 3 History

Students will gain historical perspective by placing their growing knowledge into different contexts, understanding the connections between national and international history; between cultural, economic, military and political history.

This lesson would easily fit into schemes of learning on the following topics:

● Political power, industry and empire.

● Britain as the first industrial nation – the impact on society.

● The development of the British Empire, party politics and social reform.

● Britain’s Transatlantic Slave Trade: its effects and its eventual abolition

● The History of protest and/or civil rights movements.

● The lesson is also relevant to Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural SMSC development

This lesson follows the enquiry question:
The lesson gives students the ability to be reflective about their own non religious beliefs and perspective on life, their knowledge of, and respect for, different people’s feelings and values.

It will build their understanding of the history of Britain from the earliest times to the present day: Especially how the actions and views of people in Jamaica have shaped this nation.

It offers the opportunity to develop reasoned views about moral and ethical issues. Giving students a chance to understand and appreciate the viewpoints of others on historical issues.
