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, and political history.
This lesson would easily fit into schemes of learning on the following topics:
● Political power, industry and empire.
● The modern History of Britain and the contribution that citizens of the British Empire made to its cultural and economic development
● Britain’s Transatlantic Slave Trade: its effects and legacy
● The lesson is also relevant to Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural SMSC development
