Victorian History Workshops With Their Taels Of Unexpected
So, we know that the Victorian Era is named after its ruler, Queen Victoria, but just how long ago was it that she was in charge? If queens have got you queasy and kings have you confused, then our interactive timeline is just the thing to make the monarchs more manageable so that your students can easily identify when the Victorian era existed!But, if we are going to be on a Victorian criminal caper, then we need to discover if your class is full of fogle hunters or Jerry Sneaks? And what’s more, do they have what it takes to earn a few shillings in the factories and mines or do they need to learn how to survive on the streets? Our fun and interactive games will teach your students how Victorian children lived and all about the horrible jobs they had to do – and they thought their older brother’s paper round was bad!Oh no, the Peeler’s have caught your class up to no good and it’s time to face the consequences!! So just how cruel could the Victorians be to criminals? Why did they have to show their fingers on their mugshots? What was a Victorian Prison like? Why did they send criminals to Australia? We explore a range of different Victorian Punishments. From fines to more severe sentences through a range of entertaining activities and engaging exercises. ANd the best of all is that the whole class can enjoy and get involved with!
