A special one-off lesson I made for my students in the run up to teaching about slavery in the British Empire. I didn’t want them to have the one view of Africa, or to stereotype Africa as a continent full of nothing but warring tribes, so made this lesson. It involves group work investigating various different African countries and civilisations, from various points in time. However, if you don’t like the layout of the lesson the resources will hopefully still be helpful in investigating a wide range of historic African cultures.

Inspired by the British Museum’s ‘The History of the World in 100 Objects’, these three lessons take 20 of those objects and use them to examine global history, from prehistory to the 21st century. Skills covered in the activities given include peer assessment, geography, inferencing and analysis. There is also a homework task and a quiz to assess pupil’s own knowledge. This will hopefully provide a good introduction to the subject of History and historical skills, particularly when inferencing and arguing significance. All resources needed are inclulded.

I put together this information booklet primarily for revision, however it could be used for the general study of Lagos and Nigeria for AQA’s GCSE spec. The booklet covers general information on demographics, climate and economy, as well as looking at case studies, such as Makoko and the Eko Project. Alongside the booklet are a series of questions, to help the students revise, develop own knowledge or to be adapted to use in the classroom. I hope you find this helpful - the resources used and links to the images are available in the booklet as well.
