This open ended assessment task is designed for use towards the end of a unit on the Industrial Revolution in KS3 history. However it may also be suitable for KS4 history classes, either as an assessment of prior learning or an AfL task toward the end of a unit or topic. Pupils are asked to create a timeline or multiple timelines identifying the events of the period (1700 - 1850) and making links between them. Pupils are expected to focus on changes in farming, the cloth industry and population. A 'progression' ladder based on Bloom's taxonomy is included to assist both pupils and teachers with assessing the task.

This test should take pupils around 15-20 minutes to complete. It checks understanding of the Magna Carta and tests pupils' ability to use sources. Marks allocated to each question are shown in brackets on the right hand side of the page. More substantial End of Unit Tests including detailed markschemes for both history and geography will soon be available in my shop.
