Topic
Today we will be researching an important question, who were the Victorians? To begin, click on the link History KS2: The Victorians - BBC Teach and explore the links/videos on the website. For more research, see the PDF below called ‘Timeline picture cards’.
Activity one: Using the link and the PDF file, research and write down interesting facts about the Victorians. Remember to include the dates of events, as this will be useful for the next activity. Are there any additional facts that are interesting?
Activity two: Using your research notes, you need to create an information collage/timeline. This can be presented in any way, whether it is digital or paper-based, as long it is in chronological (time) order. Extra Dojos for those who include pictures and/or colour! An example could be the timelines we use in class, a simple line, with key events listed. See below:
