The British Empire This lesson aims to question whether Britain and the East India Company was in India for the right reasons. The subject matter is the East India Company and a study of how it slowly took over the country of India taking with it a precious diamond and making a fortune out of its trade. There are some great video links used here from the BBC and Dan Snow which help bring reasoning and clarity to the East India Company’s rule in India. Students are asked if we should return the Koh-i-Noor diamond to India, the jewel in the British crown, after analysing some important evidence. Students are also given key words to help them with their arguments as to whether the diamond should be returned to India or not. The final activity focuses on the legacy of the East India Company and who benefitted from their rule before the company’s eventual collapse. The lesson comes with retrieval practice activities, suggested teaching and learning strategies and are linked to the latest historical interpretations, video clips and debate. The lesson is enquiry based with a key question of who benefitted from the Empire posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning. The lesson is fully adaptable in PowerPoint format and can be changed to suit.

This engaging and thought-provoking KS3 lesson explores the impact of the British Empire on India, asking students to evaluate whether British rule brought progress—or prevented it. Students will investigate India before, during, and after British control by exploring key areas such as conquest, trade, and how society was organised under the Raj. Using structured tasks, historical sources, and scaffolded writing, learners will assess the pace and impact of change from 1757 to 1947, including the effects of the Industrial Revolution, famines, resistance movements, and Gandhi’s Salt March.

This lesson begins with an introduction to India before British arrival under the Mughals. It then focuses on early settlement of India by the British from trading stations under the EIC to territorial gains. It then discusses the reasons why Indians were unhappy with British rule by 1857 (Sepoy Rebellion). The lesson then switches to how India was governed by the British from 1858 onwards, asking the students to examine different factors such as economy, industrialisation, education, and healthcare. The students will judge whether they think British rule over India was overwhelmingly positive or negative. The lesson then asks the students to evaluate interpretations of the impact of British rule in India in line with the GCSE Edexcel History exam paper ‘Study Interpretations 1 and 2. They give different views about the impact of British rule on India. What is the main difference between these views? (4 marks)’ and also contains a miniature version of the 16 mark Q found on Edexcel paper 3 ‘How far do you agree with Interpretation 2 about the impact of British rule on India? (4 marks)’. There is an optional homework consolidation quiz at the end of the PowerPoint. This lesson can take between 1 hr to 1.5 hr depending on whether one of the source questions is used as a discussion question. Ideal for those teaching British Empire at KS3 who are currently training pupils to answer Edexcel style questions. Some information taken from Oxford AQA GCSE History and Exploring History - a pathway to Edexcel GCSE History. Some images taken from Google.

The British Empire The aims of the lesson are to decide who were the main beneficiaries of British rule in India, known as the British Raj. The opening slides introduce the views of modern historians to those at the time such as Cecil Rhodes, with a video link setting the scene for British rule in India and a thinking quilt to challenge students on the colonisation of India. Throughout, students are encouraged to gather and analyse the evidence to make their own judgements and conclusions. There are some beneficial aspects to British rule in India shown such as the building of railways, the provision of education and the introduction of law and order in the country. A focus on Mumbai’s railway station facade and its network cites the legacy of Empire as well. But at the same time a lack of sympathy for traditional customs and religious beliefs, an inadequacy of Indian officials in Government and the promotion of British wealth and power above all else will give students a lot of conflictory evidence. In the plenary, students will rate how beneficial Empress Queen Victoria actually was for bringing India under direct British control. The lesson comes with retrieval practice activities, suggested teaching and learning strategies, differentiated materials and is linked to the latest historical interpretations, video clips and debate. The lesson is enquiry based with a key question posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning. The lessons are fully adaptable in PowerPoint format and can be changed to suit.
