Take this course to gain a complete picture of what life was really like in this fascinating period of development and great change. Included with the lessons are considerations of Victorian art and technology.
This course aims to teach ages 7-11 (Key Stage 2) about Victorian Britain. Victorian Britain is an incredibly exciting period to teach because it was a huge period of development and change and lays the groundwork for understanding a lot of the ways we live today. A large part of this course will be encouraging the students to question what we can learn from this period and how the period impacted other places around the world. Students of this programme will also be questioning whether this impact was always good. The course is broken down into ten lessons where students go into detail about what life was like for people during this time. Students will also explore arts, technology and architecture, as well as looking at what life for women and children was like. Students will learn what the Industrial Revolution was and what impact this had on society. Each lesson will last for one hour. The course will include digital handouts, reference images, illustrations and reference videos. All students are encouraged to start a workbook.
