Outcomes |
|
Children: |
Introduce specific questions for each topic, eg on population of Britain: What was Windrush? When did it happen? Why were African Caribbeans invited to Britain? What contributions have they, and other groups, made to life in Britain? How have they changed it? Why were people leaving England at the same time? Where did they go? Can you find out how one person or family felt about moving? Allocate these questions to individual children within a group.
|
|
- answer specific questions about their topic area
- identify important changes since 1948
- place changes accurately on a time line
|
|
Points to note |
At stage 3, the teacher will need to be flexible in identifying questions. Care should be taken to incorporate what the children think is interesting and important. As children put their changes on the time line, they should be encouraged to begin to identify links between changes in different topic areas.
