Victorian crime and punishment

(2)
The Industrial Revolution The aim of this lesson is to question how effective Victorian justice was. This is an interesting and engaging lesson for students as they decide who was a criminal (from their looks), which were the most common crimes in the early 1800’s and what you could expect at a public hanging though some source analysis. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to answer the following questions: Why was it so easy to commit crime in the Victorian period in the early nineteenth century and if you were unfortunate to get caught what could you expect from Victorian justice? What was the Bloody Code and why was the law so harsh to offenders irrespective in some cases of sex or age? There are also three case studies to unpick and students are left questioning the morality and effectiveness of the punishments inflicted. Please note that the reform of the criminal justice system is dealt with in other lessons such as the Victorian prison system and the setting up of the Metropolitan Police force by Sir Robert Peel and the abolition of the Bloody Code. There are a choice of plenaries from hangman to bingo and heart, head, bag, bin which get the students to prioritise the most ‘effective’ methods used to deal with crime. The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning. The resource comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change. I have also included suggested teaching strategies to deliver the lesson and there are differentiated materials included.

Industrial Revolution: Transport

(0)
Full lesson, designed for use with KS3 students to look into how new forms of transport developed during the Industrial Revolution. Begins with a starter task, asking students to guess how long it would take to get from Manchester to London using various means of transport (modern day). Students are then asked to think about which method they would prefer to use and why. This starts them thinking about pros and cons of different types of transport (e.g., cost, speed etc…) This is then compared to how long this journey would take in the 1800s using the three main different forms of transport the lesson is focused on: roads, canal and railway. This is followed by teacher input, introducing them to what transport was like pre-revolution, and explaining how and why the road system developed during the 1800s. Students’ first task is then to complete a mini series of annotated diagrams to show how roads improved at different stages. They will then be given some information on the development of canals and railways, along with some maps to be shown on the board to display the extensive-ness of these networks in Britain. Students can then be asked to highlight ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ of each form of transport on their information sheet, to be discussed as a class afterwards. The final slide includes links to three BBC videos on each form of transport, to be used as necessary depending on time remaining. Includes lesson PowerPoint, two task worksheets and an information sheet. All can be edited to adjust lesson if desired.

Introduction to the Industrial Revolution

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT ON THIS RESOURCE - ESPECIALLY IF YOU DOWNLOAD IT. This is a lesson that I used to introduce the Industrial Revolution. It is a very general lesson to get the students used to the idea that 1750 and 1900 looked and felt very different, hence the diary entry activity. This P/Point has borrowed from another that I downloaded from these very pages, although I have added features.
