The British Empire: An Empire to be proud of?

This is a lesson evaluating the positive and negative points of the British Empire. Pupils will evaluate evidence and reach their own conclusion about whether we should be proud of the British Empire or not.

The lesson was designed for a year 8/Key Stage Three class but could be adapted for Ks1 or Ks2.

During this lesson pupils will:
*Complete a true or false activity to evaluate their prior knowledge about the British Empire
* Evaluate two contrasting sources about the British Empire to make an initial decision about the empire.
* Complete a card sort to identify the positive and negative aspects of the British Empire.
* Use information from the card sort to complete a mini writing frame to evaluate knowledge.
