A year 8 lesson looking at child labour in factories during the Industrial Revolution.

This lesson covers the key questions like: How were children treated in the mills during the industrial revolution? Why did different groups of people hold different views on child labour? The lessons in this unit turn the History experience into genuine Citizenship. They take the topic a little further by asking: Should we ban child labour today?

A practice exam paper for the new AQA GCSE English Language Paper 2: Writers' Viewpoints and Perspectives, using two non-fiction texts based on the same theme or topic: here, it is the theme of CHILD LABOUR across the centuries and in different cultures. Extracts used here are Lord Shaftesbury's Parliamentary speech in 1842 about the working conditions of children in British coal mines and a newspaper article from 2014 regarding child labour in India. Section B: Writing task (linked by theme to the topic of the texts in Section A) is also included. The 5 exam questions adhere to the format of those published by AQA in their specimen exam papers. (NOTE: I have, on occasion, tweaked the vocabulary or sentencing of Shaftesbury's parliamentary speech ever so slightly, simply to make it more accessible for classroom use.) NOTE: I've uploaded LOADS of Practice exam papers for Paper 1 and Paper 2. They are all FREE at my 'shop' so please help yourself - just leave a review! Thanks. I hope it is of some use to you.

An enquiry lesson on the topic of child labour in factories of the Industrial Revolution. The investigation should encourage students to question their assumptions about the role of children in the I.Rev. To create the information stations, print out slides 10 - 15.

Using part of a Parliamentary speech by Lord Shaftesbury, given in 1842 to the House of Commons and a newspaper article from 2014, both of these texts deal with the topic of CHILD LABOUR in different cultures and in different centuries. I have adapted the 19th C text slightly, simplifying some vocabulary and sentencing to make it more accessible to students whose reading ages are significantly lower than their chronological age, to provide an appropriate point of access to the skills demanded by the new AQA GCSE Language Paper 2A exam paper. To follow is a set of SMART Notebook slides for whole-class interactive whiteboard teaching of the resource. UPDATE: To view the SMART Notebook slides, simply download the SMART Notebook Express viewer, FREE online. It is a piece of software published by SMART Technologies and is completely safe to use. (express.smarttech.com) I have adhered to the phrasing of the exam questions, but the tasks are differentiated thus: Q1 - same as the actual exam paper Q2 - cloze exercise of the summary (this could be easily tweaked to sentence stems) Q3a - highlight and write down 3 relevant examples of language used to convey viewpoint Q3b - cloze exercise of use of language to convey viewpoint and attitude Section B writing task is included, but it is not differentiated. I have not included the Q4 'comparison of methods to convey attitudes' task as it is currently beyond the ability of the students for whom I have produced this resource. I hope that it's of use to you and your students. I've produced ten of these highly differentiated papers for Paper 2A now and all are available FREE at my 'shop' with accompanying SMART Notebook resources, too. Please help yourself and leave me a review! Matt :)

Lesson about child labour with connections to global inequality and rights of the child

activities on child labour to use with the Oliver Twist

I have put together a set of texts for each of the labours of Heracles to help pupils gather information from a range of sources, with an additional set for the introductions and endings. I also used the graphic text by Marcia Williams to introduce the overview or the story. There is also a set of pictures from Greek pots for each labour.

A 14 week plan based on ‘Street Child’ by Berlie Doherty. This unit covers story writing, recounts and reports. I have used Pie COrbett’s Jumpstart series as starter and enrichment activities.

This is a plan of 2 RME Lessons. Lesson 1 looks at the Jewish Story of Pessach and the Seder Meal, children complete a worksheet to create their own special meal. Lesson 2 follows on from the story of Jewish freedom from slavery and looks at modern day child labour. word Document has the Pessach story for younger children, worksheet and child labour case studies. The powerpoint illustrates and annotates a Seder Plate and has photos of children in the case studies

This is a lesson plan and mystery activity about a young boy who is working to stitch footballs in a factory in a LEDC. I have included a writing frame that I used to help pupils organise their thoughts about the activity and their findings. There is a differentiated mystery and writing frame for your lower sets. Hopefully all of this is easily adaptable for your own needs

A lesson put together to highlight the scale of child labour around the world - most students aren't aware of it and it creates good discussion amongst students

Literacy Numeracy

A Year 8 class watch films about child labour in India. A class of Year 8 students respond to a film about a 13-year-old Indian boy Anil who has had to give up his own schooling to support his family. Anil works full-time making glass bangles in the confines of the small room he and his family live in. He burns his fingers in the flame he works at and the gas fumes are damaging his eyes and make it hard for him to breathe. Anil works so that his younger brothers and sisters can go to school but wishes he could have carried on with school and got an education so he could get a proper job.

A tale of child labour in the words of a thirteen-year-old. Anil, aged 13, is one of 40,000 children in India who work all day making glass bangles over a hot flame set up at home. This is his story in his own words. Anil gets up at 5am every day to melt hundreds of glass bangles into a perfect circle for which he is paid 40p per day. It's uncomfortable work and he can burn himself. His father died and Anil was taken out of school to work to help feed his family. His story is typical of many of the 250 million children involved in child labour around the world.

This detailed scheme of work and collection of resources supports the AQA GCSE Lit Shakespeare / Literary Heritage controlled assessment coursework. It focuses on eight poems from AQA's 'English Literary Heritage', and Acts I-III of 'King Lear'. See the SoW for a fuller explanation of this unit of learning. The independent nature of the work on poetry and the challenge of 'King Lear' as a KS4 play make this unit of work suitable for higher ability students. These resources may however be adapted to suit other year groups and abilities.

In this activity, students will gain an understanding of the impact and changes that influenced children during the Industrial Revolution. They will develop an awareness of the changes in working conditions, such as longer working hours for low pay and the use of children as a cheap source of labour. It has 11 questions for students to answer, as well as a paragraph response section for them to demonstrate their understanding of the topic.
