If you are looking for a great lesson that is suitable for students of all abilities on the Agricultural Revolution 1750 - 1850, then you have found it! This beautifully illustrated lesson looks at the problems facing farmers in 1750 and the solutions that they had found by 1850. It also aims to get students to assess who were the winners and loses and introduces some of the themes that you may want to follow up later on protest and population movement. When you purchase this lesson, you will be able to download a 21 slide PowerPoint Presentation that contains aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, information slides, activities, SEND tasks, historical sources, starters and plenaries on the Agricultural Revolution 1750 - 1850. The PowerPoint also contains useful video links as well as templates for photocopying. Please see the preview for more information, but note that some slides have been missed out. When teaching this lesson, I normally get my students to review the problems facing the farmers in slide 6. We then have a go at trying to prioritise them into a thinking skills review triangle to help assess their importance. Depending upon the ability of the class, we then complete ‘Activity 5’ either after we have reviewed the solution slides or as we are going along. We then consolidate our learning using the heads and tails activity and / or using the two plenary exercises that I have provide for you to choose from. The aims and objectives are: Theme: Industrial Revolution 1750 - 1850 Know: What problems faced farmers in 1750? Understand: What changes took place during the Agricultural Revolution? Evaluate: How successfully had farmers solved their problems by 1850? Skills: Cause & Consequence, Continuity & Change WILF – What Am I Looking For?
