This lesson contains:
- Background into the situation leading up to the passing of the act, including the different revolts that had happened and a consideration of whether the upcoming Act would be 'great' by assessing what we expect 'great' to mean.
- An activity, using the information provided, to summarise the feeling of the lower, middle and upper classes about whether change was actually needed, and why.
- A study of the provisions of the Great Reform Act. Students read each provision and colour a battery a little, a medium amount or a lot to show the amount of change each brought. they then assess the overall impact.
- A video from YouTube with a historian's point of view about the Act. Students can debate whether they agree or disagree with this view.
- An opportunity for a final judgement about the 'greatness' of the Act.
- Two options of plenaries: one to study a source and another to discuss who benefitted the most from the Act, and who was yet to benefit.
