Secondary humanities. Colonial history
Description
AST Dr. Robin Whitburn at St Mary's School in Hendon plans a lesson about British relations with her colonial subjects for his post GCSE study group. Both he and Sara Bubb, Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Education, are great believers in the importance of identifying a key question. In this lesson the key question is about British and African expectations of each other and how were they expressed in illustrations. He starts with a lively opener about which World Cup African qualifiers are former colonies of which European power. He allows for differentiation with standard, super and super upgrade categories of complexity. He then moves on to looking at historical illustrations and ask his students to decode the relationship displayed therein. He completes his plan with a plenary on the expectations the Africans had about themselves. His advice to other teachers is not to stay awake at night worrying about planning the next day's lesson.
