A lesson that challenges students to analyse a range of sources in order to extract evidence linked to a set of given categories to help identify what living and working conditions were like during the period.

The more able students are challenged to offer possible solutions to the problems that they have identified. As always there are clear instructions and differentiated activities to suit all abilities.
