These fun and engaging resources on the Transport Revolution, focus on the development of the new roads, turnpike trusts, coaching inns and the impact that they had on everyday life. They are designed to be suitable for the full range of ability and include a wide range of differentiated tasks and activities that should last at least two lessons.
When you purchase these resources you will be able to download a Powerpoint presentation and three worksheets that can be printed separately or as a booklet. The first worksheet looks at the state of the roads in 1750 and why the government decided to set up the Turnpike Trusts after the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion. The Second worksheet can be used either in lesson or set as homework and looks at the different road designs that the road builders experimented with until they finally settled on McAdams design. Later they added tar and created TarMcadams or Tarmac as we call it today. The third worksheets looks at the impact of the new roads and the development of coaching inns and the rise of the highwayman. The PowerPoint includes aims, objectives, tasks and activities to help facilitate the lesson. All the documents have also been uploaded as PDFs just in case you need to upload them or don’t have access to Office.
The series of lessons follow on from the free introductory lesson that has been uploaded to the TES website.
