Summary The first two pages make an ideal introduction to Victorian school life, looking at pictures of artefacts from that period. They can be explored to find information about them and then can be dragged into respective areas for modern or Victorian. The remaining pages can be used as a discussion tool identifying areas which are different to modern school life - underlining or highlighting differences as you work through the extracts. The final page allows for a summary of the differences or similarities identified and also forms the basis of a paper-based follow-up activity. Suitable for Year 5/6 Using a non-interactive whiteboard Using a non-interactive whiteboard, any mouse pointing or dragging can be achieved with a mouse attached to the computer - or if available, a remote mouse for the projector. Underlining/highlighting or written activities can be achieved with a normal whiteboard pen on the board, but must then be cleared before proceeding to subsequent pages. Prior learning required The pupils would be expected to have some knowledge of what we mean by the Victorian period and a basic understanding of some of the general differences between life and living conditions. No previous knowledge about Victorian schools is required. Aims and objectives The pupils will learn to identify changes between Victorian and modern life in a school environment. Timings The first two pages will take about 5/10 minutes to work through, with a further 10/15 minutes to read through and discuss the school log and the similarities/differences identified. Suggestions for group activities
Suggestions for differentiation The activities above might form differentiated activities with activity 1 being used by lower ability pupils with the support of the whiteboard activity final page being left displayed. Other differentiation would be in terms of support given to groups. Further activities The three activities identified above could be done as further activities. Curriculum links History
