KS3 History - the british empire

8/7/2017

0 Comments

 
                                The British Empire
                         Resistance and Human Costs
 
In addition to studying about reasons for building an empire, the greatest empire the world has ever known, and about the famous and rich empire builders,
this website will help students build a fuller picture of colonisation in its totality.  

The Web pages provide evidence to help students explore important and relevant questions like:  
​
How did colonisation take place?
Page link
 
What happened at different stages:
  1. before a place was colonised,
  2. the early stages of being colonised,
  3. when fully colonised,
  4. ongoing issues arising after colonisation?
Page link
 
What types of resistance did the British colonisers encounter:
  1. from the indigenes,
  2. from other interested parties e.g. other countries,
  3. from the British public,
  4. from the British Government?
Page link
 
What were the effects on people:
  1. the colonisers (i.e. officers on the ground),
  2. the colonised?
Page link
 
What sources of evidence are available? Does each support or challenge the other? How?
Page link
 
These page links are suggestions only. Evidence for a particular investigation may be found on other pages. Give students plenty of time to explore page contents of the website.
 
Students could also research contents for debate topics like:
  • Colonisation was a good thing.
​
  • Private merchant companies were only interested in making profits in the colonies.
 
  • Every officer who gave their life for the colonisation cause should be remembered.
 
  • We should not shy away from our colonial history.
 
  • Everyone benefited from colonisation.
 
  • British Empire had to come to an end.
 
 
                  Key Stage 3 history curriculum links
Pupils should be taught about:
  • ideas, political power, industry and empire: Britain, 1745-1901
> the development of the British Empire with a depth study (Nigeria)

British colonisation of other places during the period between 1745-1901 is an interesting aspect of British history which will engage students:
  • It was the period during which the modern world was carved out.
  • Advancement in technology during the time enabled photographs and written accounts like diaries to be recorded in great details by those involved in the events.
  • A variety of evidence for this period are easily available so veracity can be checked.

gcse atlantic slave trade & its abolition

1/7/2017

0 Comments

 
                        Key Stage 4 History
               British Slave Trade and its Abolition

History students need to support their study of historical topics from a variety of sources.  This web page (Source A) will assist students in understanding types of slavery in West Africa and the early intervention by the King of Benin to put a stop to the growing Atlantic Slave Trade.  
     
                         Go To website --->
 
Exam tips from BBC Bitesize:
  • A source is never completely useless or completely useful.
  • Biased, unreliable sources can still be useful.
  • Think about what the source might be useful for.
  • You may need to add in your own knowledge to make complete sense of the source.
 
Evidence source A
Read this web page: Statement of involvement of Benin Empire in the Transatlantic Slave Trade
 
Question
How useful is this source for finding out about the Atlantic Slave Trade history?
 
Evidence source B
The Oba (of Benin), needing more manpower himself, decided to limit the outward flow of males – and then, from about 1550, to prohibit slave exports altogether.’ (Disney, 2009, p.63)
 
Questions
How useful is this information in showing awareness of the King of Benin of consequences of depletion of the African population through slave exports?
 
To what extent does this legislation of the Oba of Benin affect the growth of the trade and exports of African Slaves?
 
After this ban, explain how the slave trade expanded. Support your answer with facts.
 
How did this lucrative trade in slaves eventually affect the development of the African continent?  Support your answer with facts and figures.
 
From the 1770s, to what extent was the abolitionist movement important in bringing about the end of the slave trade?
