Y8 Historians Get Creative

Year 8 used creative ways of sharing their research on the British Empire History

In History, Year 8 pupils have undertaken an independent investigation into the way in which the British Empire impacted on different countries. Students were asked to consider the impact of British rule on different countries. They had to consider different aspects, for example: religious changes, cultural changes, economic and political impacts. Students evaluated the impact of British rule so that they could reach supported conclusions on the overall effect of colonial rule. Students had to engage with controversial ideas and consider current debate amongst historians on these issues.

The projects created were fantastic and showed how hard working, resilient and creative Year 8 pupils are. Some students even created their own YouTube videos and others mocked up google pages to present their research.
