British Empire Complete Bundle

This comprehensive KS3 British Empire bundle explores the expansion, impact and legacy of the British Empire through engaging enquiry-based history lessons covering India, Australia, Africa, key individuals and long-term consequences.<br /> <br /> Furthermore I have been inspired to review and adapt these teaching resources due to recent debates about the impact of the British Empire on the indigenous peoples it conquered and the legacy of the British Empire and how it influences us still today. <br /> <br /> I would like to thank Sathnam Sanghera for his brilliant book ‘Empireland’ and his enlightened debate on the British Empire and how and why it should be taught in schools.<br /> <br /> This bundle includes historical concepts such empire and colonisation, continuity and change with a focus on the East India Company, the causes and consequences of British rule in India, similarities and differences within the British Empire, the analysis of sources and different interpretations of colonisation such as Australia and finally the significance of people such as Robert Clive, Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Kitchener and their legacy today.<br /> <br /> The 13 lessons are broken down into the following:<br /> 1) An introduction to Empire<br /> 2) The American War of Independence<br /> 3) The British East India Company<br /> 4) Robert Clive<br /> 5) Focus Study – India<br /> 6) Gandhi and Indian independence<br /> 7) Focus Study - Transportation to Australia<br /> 8) The colonisation of Australia<br /> 9) The Scramble for Africa (Free Resource)<br /> 10) The Zulu Wars<br /> 11) The Boer War<br /> 12) Apartheid and Nelson Mandela<br /> <br /> Each lesson comes with suggested teaching and learning strategies, retrieval practice activities, differentiated materials and are linked to the latest historical interpretations, video clips and debate. <br /> <br /> The lessons are fully adaptable in PowerPoint format.
