The main feature is a gift to the history teacher. In terms of historical content, it reminds us that it would be quite possible to pursue protest as a theme from KS2 to A2. At KS2 the many Victorian protests about water supplies in the big cities present themselves, as do the Jarrow March and similar protests of the Thirties. (Also, we ought not to forget that the Egyptians and Romans had their share of intrigues and coups). At KS3 we have the Peasants’ Revolt, the Civil Wars, riots against enclosures, the Chartists, the Suffragettes. We also have the French Revolution, American Revolution and the 1798 uprising in Ireland (led by Presbyterians who wanted to break the connection between England and Ireland - some turnaround there). Let’s not lose sight of the issues in among the exciting people and protests we might study. Topics which link past and present scream out, such as: “Why do people protest?”; “What methods are effective?”; “Why are some protests more effective than others?”; “How should governments react to protest?”; “What might inspire me to protest?”. The vision of citizenship at its most complete presents itself here, with pupils looking at current issues, but with a strong historical context.
