Pupil Task Pupils research, prepare and construct an extended piece of writing on the changes brought about by the Industrial revolution in Wales

Resources. All previous resources, plus essay framework OHP

Differentiation. By outcome, extended open ended question

Teaching methods.One way to teach the course is to examine the wider changes caused by the Industrial Revolution through the eyes of one family. Use the accompanying family tree to follow the family, from rural West Wales to Industrial Merthyr, and eventually down to a mining family in Senghenydd on the eve of World War One. Extended writing can be encouraged by pupils producing diary entries, letters etc for members of the family. As long as care is taken to avoid anachronism, this is a very good way of targeting and testing many of the key elements.
