2 Thanks to: Key contributors to the History Materials: As an engineer I ve travelled the world widely for business. It s been really eyeopening hearing about other people s perceptions of history and I ve found myself in a few uncomfortable situations in countries like China, Japan, Germany and Iran. I ve learned so much about other countries views of the British and history which are sometimes very different to ours; but it would have been really helpful (and less embarrassing) if I d learned this at school!

3 Introduction Global Learning in History The World-Class Teaching programme aimed to improve teachers capacity to bring Global Learning into the classroom, developing quality teaching and learning materials for their specific subjects, worthy of Ofsted outstanding rating. A recent UNESCO study recognizes that although Global Education in different countries and communities is offered in different ways, it nevertheless has a number of uniting elements. The most important among these is fostering in learners: an attitude supported by an understanding of multiple levels of identity, and the potential for a collective identity which transcends individual, cultural, religious, ethnic or other differences; a deep knowledge of global issues and universal values such as justice, equality, dignity and respect; cognitive skills to think critically, systemically and creatively, including adopting multiple perspectives; an approach that recognizes the different dimensions, perspectives and angles of issues; non-cognitive skills including social skills such as, empathy, conflict resolution and communication; skills and aptitudes for networking and interacting with people of different backgrounds, origins, cultures and perspectives; behavioural capacities to act collaboratively and responsibly to find global solutions for global challenges and to strive for the collective good. From: Global Citizenship Education: Preparing learners for the challenges of the twenty-first century, UNESCO, Global Education is an education perspective which arises from the fact that contemporary people live and interact in an increasingly globalised world. This makes it crucial for education to give learners the opportunity and competences to reflect and share their own point of view and role within a global, interconnected society, as well as to understand and discuss complex relationships of common social, ecological, political and economic issues, so as to derive new ways of thinking and acting. However, Global Education should not be presented as an approach that we may all accept uncritically, since we already know there are dilemmas, tensions, doubts and different perceptions in an education process when dealing with global issues. There are many definitions of Global Education. The Maastricht Global Education declaration (2002) states: Global Education is education that opens people s eyes and minds to the realities of the globalised world and awakens them to bring about a world of greater justice, equity and Human Rights for all. Global Education is understood to encompass Development Education, Human Rights Education, Education for Sustainability, Education for Peace and Conflict Prevention and Intercultural Education; being the global dimension of Education for Citizenship. (From: Global Education Guidelines: The Council of Europe). The new History curriculum offers a real opportunity for teachers to enhance pupils learning by the integration of a global dimension in their teaching. Global Learning should be seen as a pedagogical approach that is relevant and appropriate to the construction and application of knowledge within a subject. Themes from the World Class Teaching Global Learning Framework such as: Peace and Conflict Resolution; Political Power, Democracy and Human Rights, the Global Economy and International Trade; Migration; and Diversity and Intercultural Relations could be explored through certain elements identified in the programme of study for History. The materials in this handbook provide a sample of ideas from the categories outlined in the National Curriculum. It is hoped that this will model a process of curriculum development which can be applied to other themes and topics and result in Global Learning being systematically embedded in subject teaching.

4 Delivering Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural aspects of learning through Global Learning Global Learning provides a great vehicle for delivering SMSC and Values Education. Through subject content which includes a global dimension, students are given many opportunities to engage with controversial issues and take part in stimulating debate about global issues and broaden their understanding of interdependence. It creates opportunities for them to explore their own values and develop critical thinking skills. Global Learning also supports students in identifying and articulating their world view and critically assessing their rationale behind their ideas and assumptions. An expressive and/or creative impulse An ability to think in terms of the whole for example, concepts such as harmony, interdependence, scale, perspective An understanding of feelings and emotions, and their likely impact Each curriculum section included in the Global Learning Teaching Toolkits specifically illustrates links to SMSC and Values, shown both on the Generic Big Ideas Mats and on the Schemes of Learning. What SMSC means for Students: Ofsted s definition of spiritual development includes the development of a non-materialistic, spiritual side to life including: a sense of identity, self-worth, personal insight, development of a pupil s soul or personality or character. What it looks like for students: Spiritual A set of values, principles and beliefs, which may or may not be religious, which inform their perspective on life and their patterns of behaviour Awareness of and understanding of their own and others beliefs Respect for themselves and for others A sense of empathy with others, concern and compassion An increasing ability to reflect and learn from this reflection An ability to show courage and persistence in defence of their aims, values, principles and beliefs Readiness to challenge all that would constrain the human spirit: for example, poverty of aspiration, lack of self-confidence and belief, moral neutrality or indifference, force, fanaticism, aggression, greed, injustice, narrowness of vision, self-interest, sexism, racism and other forms of discrimination Appreciation of the intangible - for example, beauty, truth, love, goodness, order as well as for mystery, paradox and ambiguity Ofsted s definition of moral development includes the development of understanding of moral values that regulate personal behaviour and understanding of society. What it looks like for students: An ability to distinguish right from wrong, based on a knowledge of the moral codes of their own and others cultures 6 7 Respect for insight as well as for knowledge and reason Moral Confidence to act consistently in accordance with their own principles An ability to think through the consequences of their own and others actions Willingness to express their views on ethical issues and personal values An ability to make responsible and reasoned judgements on moral dilemmas Commitment to personal values in areas which are considered right by some and wrong by others A considerate style of life Respect for others needs, interests and feelings, as well as their own Desire to explore their own and others views An understanding of the need to review and reassess their values, codes and principles in the light of experience

5 Social Cultural Ofsted s definition of social development includes inculcating the skills and attitudes necessary to participate fully and positively in democratic, modern Britain. What it looks like for students: An ability to adjust to a range of social contexts by appropriate and sensitive behaviour Relate well to other people s social skills and personal qualities Work successfully as a member of a group or team Challenge, when necessary and in appropriate ways, the values of a group or wider community Share views and opinions with others and work towards consensus Resolve conflicts and counter forces which militate against inclusion and unity Reflect on their own contribution to society and to the world of work Show respect for people, living things, property and the environment Benefit from advice offered by those in authority or counselling roles Exercise responsibility Appreciate the rights and responsibilities of individuals within the wider social setting Understand how societies function and are organised in structures such as the family, the school and local and wider communities Participate in activities relevant to the community Understand the notion of interdependence in an increasingly complex society Ofsted s definition of cultural development is about students understanding of their own culture and other cultures, being able to operate in the emerging world culture and cope with change, valuing cultural diversity and ultimately preventing racism. This is seen as an essential element of preparation for future lives. What it looks like for students: An ability to recognise and understand their own cultural assumptions and values 8 9 An understanding of the influences which have shaped their own cultural heritage An understanding of the dynamic, evolutionary nature of cultures An ability to appreciate cultural diversity and accord dignity and respect to other people s values and beliefs, thereby challenging racism and valuing race equality Openness to new ideas and a willingness to modify cultural values in the light of experience An ability to use language and understand images/icons for example, in music, art, literature which have significant meaning in a culture Willingness to participate in, and respond to, artistic and cultural enterprises A sense of personal enrichment through encounter with a cultural media and traditions from a range of cultures Regard for the heights of human achievement in all cultures and societies An appreciation of the diversity and interdependence of cultures Addressing British Values through Global Learning in History Global Learning provides a context for exploring and fostering human values with students. British Values are referenced throughout the Global Learning Teaching Toolkits contained in this publication and specific examples from the History Curriculum content explored. British values have been identified by Ofsted as: democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance towards those of different faiths and it is expected that schools will focus on, and be able to show how their work with students is effective in embedding British values throughout teaching and learning. Questions might arise such as: What is so British about these values and how are these different to the values of other countries? Are the values today the same as a couple of generations ago? Do they change over time? Is it all based on what happened in the past, the Magna Carta, the fight for votes for women? Who decides what is British, is it the law courts? How does an understanding of historical events help us to consider and reflect on different perspectives and question the assumptions behind them? How can our understanding of History help us to explore our own values and consider issues such as fairness, human rights and tolerance?

6 Curriculum Review Global Learning opportunities in History teaching have been identified from the national curriculum in the following examples in the Global Learning Teaching Toolkits. The development of Church, state and society in Medieval Britain This could include: The Norman Conquest Eg. G.L. Opportunity: Was the Norman Conquest significant for the development of the UK-find answers by investigating change and continuity in English life after 1066? Or how did the English and the Normans understand Social Justice at this time? Was William a just king? Were there winners and losers in terms of William s justice system? Christendom, the importance of religion and the Crusades the struggle between Church and crown Magna Carta and the emergence of Parliament Eg. G.L.Opportunity: Is the Magna Carta an example of a government and people taking action to address injustice? the English Reformation and Counter Reformation (Henry VIII to Mary I) the Elizabethan religious settlement and conflict with Catholics (including Scotland, Spain and Ireland) the first colony in America and first contact with India the causes and events of the civil wars throughout Britain the Interregnum (including Cromwell in Ireland) the Restoration, Glorious Revolution and power of Parliament the Act of Union of 1707, the Hanoverian succession and the Jacobite rebellions of 1715 and 1745 society, economy and culture across the period: for example, work and leisure in town and country, religion and superstition in daily life, theatre, art, music and literature Ideas, political power, industry and empire: Britain, The English campaigns to conquer Wales and Scotland up to 1314 This could include: Society, economy and culture: for example, feudalism, religion in daily life (parishes, monasteries, abbeys), farming, trade and towns (especially the wool trade), art, architecture and literature The Black Death and its social and economic impact The Peasants Revolt The Hundred Years War The Wars of the Roses; Henry VII and attempts to restore stability Eg. G.L. Opportunity: The Peasants Revolt- as an example of Global Citizenship The development of Church, state and society in Britain This could include: Renaissance and Reformation in Europe Eg. G.L. Opportunity: Italy led the world to renaissance thinking and this cultural change proved pivotal in the creative arts, medicine, science and academia and therefore has 10 had a huge impact on the modern world. In considering and discussing the world today Darwin s On The Origin of Species 11 and how this period changed the future? This could include: the Enlightenment in Europe and Britain, with links back to 17th-Century thinkers and scientists and the founding of the Royal Society Britain s Transatlantic Slave Trade: its effects and its eventual abolition Eg. G.L.Opportunity: The legacy of the Transatlantic Enslavement Trade is here today in Africa, Europe and the Americas and views of Africa today are still affected by perceptions of the SlaveTrade The Seven Years War and The American War of Independence The French Revolutionary wars Britain as the first industrial nation the impact on society Party politics, extension of the franchise and social reform The development of the British Empire Eg. G.L.Opportunity: How did economic and social connections between continents shape the exploitation of natural resources, trade (including the slave trade) political and social relationships? Ireland and Home Rule

7 Challenges for Britain, Europe and the wider world 1901 to the present day In addition to studying the Holocaust, this could include: Women s suffrage The First World War and the Peace Settlement. Eg. G.L.Opportunity: The way in which a conflict is resolved has important implications for future relationships and can help prevent future conflicts or fuel more conflict The inter-war years: the Great Depression and the rise of dictators The Second World War and the wartime leadership of Winston Churchill Eg. G.L. Opportunity: The loss of political freedom that enabled the persecution and murder of Jews and non-jews considered within the context of Human Rights The creation of the Welfare State Indian independence and end of Empire Social, cultural and technological change in post-war British society Britain s place in the world since 1945 At least one study of a significant society or issue in world history and its Inter-connections with other world developments [for example, Mughal India ; China s Qing dynasty ; Changing Russian empires c ; USA in the 20th Century.] Eg. G.L. Opportunity: Can examples of how great dynasties have evolved contribute to our understanding of interdependence at local, national and international scales? Reflection criteria for teachers Embedding Global Learning in subject teaching In order to facilitate the process of embedding Global Learning in specific topics, teachers are encouraged to use the following questions as a way to orient their thinking around Global Learning. Can this module help us to explore development processes, or help us develop our understanding of development processes? What can we understand about social justice, inequality and power relationships through this module of work? How does this topic contribute to our understanding of interdependence? Does this module help us to explore intercultural understanding, challenge stereotypes and promote multiple perspectives? Can this module help us develop our understanding of human rights, citizenship and democracy? In what ways are we promoting and developing global critical thinking skills through this topic? How are we addressing and fostering values and attitudes? Does this approach (and the subject matter of this topic) help us be aware of active citizenship and participation? It s not necessary for all of the questions to be answered or their concepts to feature in every topic. One History teacher commented, they re useful as they open up possibilities and help you think about your subject in different ways All materials are also available to download from:

11 Global Learning Reflection Questions: Can this module help us to explore development processes, or help us develop our understanding of development processes? What can we understand about social justice, inequality and power relationships through this module of work? How does this topic contribute to our understanding of interdependence? Does this module help us to explore intercultural understanding, challenge stereotypes and promote multiple perspectives? Can this module help us develop our understanding of human rights, citizenship and democracy? Global Learning themes covered: Political Power, Democracy and Human Rights; Global Economy and International Trade; Diversity and Intercultural Relations (from: WCT Framework for Global Learning) A Global Learning approach within a school would need to take account of key elements of knowledge, skills and values. It would need to offer a process of learning that opens up minds to a broader global vision, to deepen knowledge and understanding, encourage critical thinking and reflection, and encourage dialogue around a values base of social justice and challenge to inequality. (Global Learning Programme, England, 2015) Global Learning The Big Ideas - Dynasties - Did Dynasties fulfil their destinies?: The word dynasty derives via Latin dynastia from Greek dynastèia (δυναστεία), where it referred to power, dominion, and rule itself. A dynasty is when one family rules a country or region over a long period of time. Dynastic rule was possible because of the support of powerful elites and was often justified as given by a deity. Dynastic rule could have benefits in terms of stability and peace, both of which are necessary for economic prosperity. Dynastic rule was possible because of the support of powerful elites. Dynastic rule could have benefits in terms of stability and peace. Peace and stability are necessary for economic prosperity. Dynastic rule is one way of governing society, where an elite governs. Dynastic power was often justified as authorised by a deity e.g. The idea of the Mandate of Heaven existed in societies as far apart as Peru, England and China. Dynastic rule is still a feature of politics in some countries. In the US, Britain and North Korea powerful families are able to influence politics from generation to generation. In China, while the ruler was mandated by heaven, government administration was based on a Meritocratic system. The British East India company took the system from China and introduced it to Europe and America. The Mandate of Heaven: the idea that heaven granted emperors the right to rule based on their ability to govern well and fairly. The idea of the Divine Right of Kings evolved in Europe during the Middle Ages. The theory claimed that kings were answerable only to God and it was therefore sinful for their subjects to resist them. Student Learning outcomes: DESCRIBING DYNASTIES.

Class discussion: What was the Ming Dynasty famous for? Students to design their own Ming vase. Students to then complete the 7 mark question using sentence starters. Students to peer assess their work using the mark scheme. 1. How might this help us to explore development processes, or help us develop our understanding of development processes? 2. What does this tell us about social justice, inequality and power relationships? 3. How does this contribute to our understanding of interdependence? SPIRITUAL SP1. Reflect on our own beliefs and our respect for the faiths, feelings and values of others. MORAL Students are asked to consider how the dynasties have changed the world and affected the world we live in today. As a result they consider the way in which dynasties have had an impact on development in terms of economic, social, political and religious issues. Look at the nature of interdependence and consider this in the context of Human Rights and the consequences of not having them or having them has had an impact on the legacy of dynasties. The study explores social interdependence as the dynasties were so successful due to the collaboration of all members of society. Conversely, the fact that not all of this collaboration was done freely is also considered. Considering SMSC Key learning M4. Investigate moral and ethical issues and offer reasoned views. SOCIAL S3. Understand and engage with the values of democracy and individual liberties. Considering Values and Attitudes CULTURAL C3. Understand the role of a democratic parliamentary system in shaping our history, values and future Understand what life was like for the Russian Tsars. 5. Solve the mystery of Anastasia. 6. Demonstrate knowledge of Dynasties through timed assessment. 7. Understand more about the Japanese Dynasties. Look at the pictures and discuss and ask what are we are learning about today?

DEMOCRACY: RULE OF LAW: Understand how we can influence decision making through democratic processes. Understand how the law works in Britain and how the rule of law can protect individual citizens and contribute towards their well-being and safety. Global Learning supports students to develop subject specific skills, including critical thinking and the ability to engage with different perspectives presented through the topics. They are encouraged to think about their own values when looking at key global issues, considering issues such as fairness, human rights, tolerance, conflict resolution. These approaches and methodologies permeate all topics. 6. Peace and Conflict Resolution 7. Fostering Values and Attitudes 8. Active Citizenship and Participation

14 MEDIEVAL BRITAIN Global Learning Reflection Questions: Can this module help us to explore development processes, or help us develop our understanding of development processes? What can we understand about social justice, inequality and power relationships through this module of work? How does this topic contribute to our understanding of interdependence? Does this module help us to explore intercultural understanding, challenge stereotypes and promote multiple perspectives? Can this module help us develop our understanding of human rights, citizenship and democracy? Global Learning themes covered: The Church was the King s moral compass during William s reign. Is this true in today s society? Who holds modern governments to task? Magna Carta and the emergence of Parliament (also see separate Magna Carta Big Ideas sheet). Is the Magna Carta an example of a government and people taking action to address injustice? What pivotal changes happened as a result of the Magna Carta and how does this help us understand democratic processes and their value. Student Learning outcomes: Political Power, Democracy and Human Rights (from: WCT Framework for Global Learning) A Global Learning approach within a school would need to take account of key elements of knowledge, skills and values. It would need to offer a process of learning that opens up minds to a broader global vision, to deepen knowledge and understanding, encourage critical thinking and reflection, and encourage dialogue around a values base of social justice and challenge to inequality. (Global Learning Programme, England, 2015) Global Learning The Big Ideas - Medieval Britain: The Norman Conquest was about a clash of two very different cultures- the Anglo Saxons and the Normans. An exploration of this clash demonstrates different historic identities in the UK. The Norman Conquest changed the culture of Britain and had a significant impact on the people. From 1066 England was ruled by a foreign dynasty which influenced how the UK developed, economically and socially. How William achieved and maintained control is an important area of study, giving indications of the seeds of modern society. The new Feudal System was hierarchical and oppressive the divide between rich and poor, and the differences between the lives of those at the top compared to the lives of those at the bottom, got bigger. William wanted to be seen as being a just king, but was he? Did he practise what he preached in terms of justice? How do governments today score in terms of practising what they preach in terms of justice? What can we learn from the Medieval era to help us develop our understanding of justice and what it means in today s society. TO UNDERSTAND THE CULTURE CLASH BETWEEN THE SAxONS AND THE NORMANS DEMONSTRATES (TO A CERTAIN ExTENT) THE DIFFERENT HISTORIC IDENTITIES IN THE UK. TO KNOW THE NORMANS CONTROLLED ENGLAND USING A VARIETY OF METHODS. TO UNDERSTAND THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN EVERYDAY LIFE IN ENGLAND BUT NOT EVERYTHING CHANGED. TO UNDERSTAND THAT MEDIEVAL ENGLAND WAS AN ADVANCED SOCIETY. TO KNOW THAT THE MAGNA CARTA WAS SIGNIFICANT IN TERMS OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND A MILESTONE IN THE DECLINE OF THE POWER OF THE MONARCHY AND THE INCREASE IN THE AGENCY OF THE PEOPLE. The elliptical Reflection Tool sheet at the end of this section can be used as an Assessment/Reflection Tool for the students to check their understanding of Global Learning Big Ideas in History

15 MAGNA CARTA Global Learning Reflection Questions: Can this module help us to explore development processes, or help us develop our understanding of development processes? What can we understand about social justice, inequality and power relationships through this module of work? How does this topic contribute to our understanding of interdependence? Does this module help us to explore intercultural understanding, challenge stereotypes and promote multiple perspectives? Can this module help us develop our understanding of human rights, citizenship and democracy? Global Learning The Big Ideas - Magna Carta: The Magna Carta contributed to the development of modern democracy one of the most important legal documents in the history of modern democracy HR.com The Magna Carta, the Petition of Rights, and the Bill of Rights are documents which are held in veneration by democrats throughout the world, N. Mandela. The Magna Carta enshrined the right of free men to justice and a fair trial. The significance of the Magna Carta in terms of the development of civil liberties, e.g. against the arbitrary use of power by the state against the individual. The significance of the introduction of the Magna Carta in the reign of King John and its re-issue in the first parliament under Henry III in the context of the development of Human Rights. The significance of the Magna Carta in terms of Human Rights - assuring freedoms through the rule of law. The Magna Carta can be seen as a milestone in the decline of the power of the monarchy and the increase in the agency of the people. It is an example of a government and people taking action to address injustice. The Magna Carta has been used as a reference point by many progressive movements such as the Chartists in England and the ANC in South Africa. Student Learning outcomes: STUDENTS WILL KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE REASONS WHY KING JOHN WAS FORCED TO SIGN THE 64-POINT DOCUMENT.

Guess who: Read the sentences and attribute them to the correct character. In pairs: read the events of the battle and put them in the right order. 4. Does this help us to explore intercultural understanding, challenge stereotypes and promote multiple perspectives? The Norman Conquest is about a clash of two very different culturesthe Anglo Saxon and the Normans. An exploration of this clash demonstrates different historic identities in the UK. Give me 5: Five multiple choice questions based on the battle. Define the word bias in 25 words this could be followed by looking at the way the battle is presented through different sources. Use the depiction of the battle presented on the tapestry to infer what happened in the battle. Write a biased account of the battle from the perspective of a Saxon soldier or a Norman Knight. 321: Quick fire questions to check understanding. 2. What does this tell us about social justice, inequality and power relationships? 5. Can this help us develop our understanding of human rights, citizenship and democracy? Reflection on what is meant by social justice, consideration of the relationship between a more just world and a personal values base of empathy and passion. Consider the distribution of wealth in modern society with particular reference to housing issues. Knowledge and understanding of the Magna Carta contributes significantly to our understanding of social justice and human rights. The importance of the 39th point which outlined the first basic right i.e. No freeman shall be arrested, imprisoned, or have his property taken away, or be outlawed, or exiled, or in any way ruined, except by lawful judgement or by the law of the land.

19 Global Learning Reflection Questions: Can this module help us to explore development processes, or help us develop our understanding of development processes? What can we understand about social justice, inequality and power relationships through this module of work? How does this topic contribute to our understanding of interdependence? Does this module help us to explore intercultural understanding, challenge stereotypes and promote multiple perspectives? Can this module help us develop our understanding of human rights, citizenship and democracy? Global Learning themes covered: Political Power, Democracy and Human Rights; Global Economy and International Trade; Diversity and Intercultural Relations; Health and Well-being (from: WCT Framework for Global Learning) The need to learn to read and write became critical for a new economy. Science was embraced as a means of understanding the world and scientists developed new views about the universe. Whilst the Renaissance Period brought huge positive benefits to Europe, it had a largely negative impact on the wider world. The growth of imperialism resulted in the Spanish and Portuguese founding large empires in the Americas. Native Americans were subdued, repressed, murdered and decimated by disease and their civilizations destroyed. To make explorations profitable, Spain and Portugal began bringing slaves to America and established the plantation system. Religion became more diverse. Complaints about the corruption in the Church led to the Reformation. The Catholic and Protestant churches battled for power, resulting in the Thirty Years War. Protestantism spread across Europe and broke into many sects. Islam also divided into different sects. Student Learning outcomes: A Global Learning approach within a school would need to take account of key elements of knowledge, skills and values. It would need to offer a process of learning that opens up minds to a broader global vision, to deepen knowledge and understanding, encourage critical thinking and reflection, and encourage dialogue around a values base of social justice and challenge to inequality. (Global Learning Programme, England, 2015) Global Learning The Big Ideas - Renaissance and Reformation in Europe: Trade became the key to prosperity, status and power. Expansion and exploration of the New World was the start of a profitable commerce in trade. The spice trade with China, India and Japan was critical to the growing economy. Competition grew fierce and a commercial revolution resulted. Entrepreneurs and capitalists played key roles in the commercial revolution. New technologies made it possible for ocean explorations to the New World. This was the age of Absolute Monarchy. The empires of the Old World grew big and rich, reaping harvests from their exploitation of New World resources and the monarchs ruled with absolute power over their subjects. The Renaissance brought vast changes in culture and ways of life in Europe. 36 Advances were made in medicine and the study of anatomy. All these changes had a 37 huge impact on the quality of life. TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE RENAISSANCE WAS AN IMPORTANT PERIOD IN HISTORY. TO JUDGE WHICH CHANGE WAS MOST IMPORTANT. TO CONSIDER THE SIGNIFICANCE OF RENAISSANCE ART. TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF THE RENAISSANCE IN THE CONTExT OF THE WIDER WORLD. TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT HAS IMPACTED ON OUR LIVES TODAY. TO CONSIDER THE IMPACT OF THE RENAISSANCE ON LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE. TO COMPARE THE IMPACT OF THE RENAISSANCE WITH HOW THE CREATION OF THE PC AND INTERNET CHANGED OUR LIVES. TO KNOW WHO ARE THE KEY INVENTORS OF THE WORLD TODAY.

20 Scheme of Learning State and Society Lessons Learning Outcomes: Activities Global Learning Opportunities To understand why the Renaissance was an important period in history. Slide 1: Watch the video as an introduction to the Renaissance. Ask students to make notes on anything that they are learning or find interesting. Work through slides 3 and 4. Students should have a clear understanding of the difference between primary and secondary sources. 3. How does this contribute to our understanding of interdependence? Trade became the key to prosperity, status and power. Expansion and exploration of the New World was the start of a profitable commerce in trade. Competition grew fierce and a commercial revolution resulted. Voyages were undertaken to conquer new territories The spice trade with China, India and Japan was critical to the growing economy. Entrepreneurs and capitalists played key roles in the commercial revolution. Mercantilism rose and the commercial revolution brought about major change in the quality of European life. Read through the worksheet An introduction to the Renaissance Display slide 6, ask students to complete the tasks on the board. This is a literacy exercise so standards of literacy and presentation must be stressed. Complete spider diagram on the aspects of the Renaissance Stick diagram in books and write a sentence underneath each flag to explain why the change was important. 2. What does this tell us about social justice, inequality and power relationships? North America was divided up, apportioned among Old World Empires. English settlers arrived in North America and began to build colonies. The Spanish and Portuguese founded large empires in the Americas. Native Americans were subdued, repressed, murdered and decimated by disease and their civilizations destroyed. To make explorations profitable, Spain and Portugal began bringing slaves to America and established the plantation system. The empires of the Old World grew big and rich, reaping harvests from their exploitation of New World resources. Monarchs ruled with absolute power over their subjects. Nations increased their power and solidified their nationhood. Religious passions led to holy wars. The Ottoman Empire became powerful in Eastern Europe. Russia rose as a new power. These activities help students to consider the developmental processes within the world as Italy led the world to renaissance thinking and this cultural change proved pivotal in the creative arts, medicine, science and academia and therefore has had a huge impact on the modern world. New technologies made it possible for ocean explorations to the New World. Explorations of the world were led by the Portuguese and Spanish, to open new trade routes. SPIRITUAL SP1. Reflect on our own beliefs and our respect for the faiths, feelings and values of others. MORAL Considering SMSC Key learning M4. Investigate moral and ethical issues and offer reasoned views. SOCIAL S3. Understand and engage with the values of democracy and individual liberties. CULTURAL C3. Understand the role of a democratic parliamentary system in shaping our history, values and future To be able to recall and evaluate the changes that came about during the Renaissance. Observe the two drawings and explain which one you think is better and why. Draw the noses in the pictures which one is more difficult to draw? Considering Values and Attitudes DEMOCRACY: Understand how we can influence decision making through democratic processes. RULE OF LAW: Understand how the law works in Britain and how the rule of law can protect individual citizens and contribute towards their well-being and safety. List and discuss other significant changes that took place during the Renaissance. Read through the definitions for each category and then find the TWO pictures that apply to the definition. You need to find the picture that represents before the Renaissance and after the Renaissance. Global Learning supports students to develop subject specific skills, including critical thinking and the ability to engage with different perspectives presented through the topics. They are encouraged to think about their own values when looking at key global issues, considering issues such as fairness, human rights, tolerance, conflict resolution. These approaches and methodologies permeate all topics. 6. Peace and Conflict Resolution 7. Fostering Values and Attitudes Active Citizenship and Participation

22 THE TRANS-ATLANTIC ENSLAVEMENT TRADE AND EMPIRE Global Learning Reflection Questions: Can this module help us to explore development processes, or help us develop our understanding of development processes? What can we understand about social justice, inequality and power relationships through this module of work? How does this topic contribute to our understanding of interdependence? Does this module help us to explore intercultural understanding, challenge stereotypes and promote multiple perspectives? Can this module help us develop our understanding of human rights, citizenship and democracy? Global Learning themes covered: Political Power, Democracy and Human Rights; Global Economy and International Trade; Diversity and Intercultural Relations; Poverty; Consumption and Production (from: WCT Framework for Global Learning) A Global Learning approach within a school would need to take account of key elements of knowledge, skills and values. It would need to offer a process of learning that opens up minds to a broader global vision, to deepen knowledge and understanding, encourage critical thinking and reflection, and encourage dialogue around a values base of social justice and challenge to inequality. (Global Learning Programme, England, 2015) Global Learning The Big Ideas - Britain s Trans-atlantic Enslavement Trade: The legacy and effects of the TAET are here today in Africa, Europe and the Americas. Slavery did not end with the abolition of the trade. Although illegal, slavery is widespread in the world today including in Europe. The concept of race that we re using today is really a legacy of the slave trade. Radio 4, Start the Week, 9/11/15. Student Learning outcomes: STUDENTS HAVE AN AWARENESS OF THE RICHNESS AND ACHIEVEMENTS OF WEST AFRICAN CIVILISATIONS. STUDENTS CAN ExPLAIN THE TAET WAS A NEW FORM OF SLAVERY AND AN IMPORTANT ECONOMIC PROCESS AND KNOW THAT IT DEPOPULATED AFRICA, WHICH IN TURN SLOWED ITS DEVELOPMENT WHILE IT ENRICHED EUROPE. STUDENTS HAVE AN AWARENESS OF HOW THE ENSLAVED PEOPLE RESISTED AND CAN GIVE ExAMPLES OF THEIR SUCCESSES. STUDENTS CAN ExPLAIN THE LEGACY OF THE TAET IN AFRICA, EUROPE AND THE AMERICAS FOR THE CURRENT DAY. STUDENTS DEMONSTRATE UNDERSTANDING OF HOW SLAVERY WAS JUSTIFIED ON BOTH MORAL AND PRAGMATIC GROUNDS AND THAT THIS WAS CHALLENGED BY ACTIVISTS AT THE TIME. STUDENTS CAN ExPLAIN HOW AND WHY ATTITUDES HAVE CHANGED. STUDENTS ARE AWARE OF THE SCALE OF MODERN SLAVERY AND CAN IDENTIFY A CONTEMPORARY INJUSTICE AND ExPLAIN HOW IT IS JUSTIFIED. The Transatlantic African Enslavement Trade (TAET) was a new form of slavery and an important economic process. The Slave trade depopulated Africa and slowed its development. It is important to see it in the context of the achievements of West African societies and the complexity of their political and administrative structures. Views of Africa today are affected by perceptions of the slave trade. Slavery was justified on both moral and pragmatic grounds. There was a spectrum of different attitudes to slavery during the era of the TAET. The Slave Trade enriched Europe and contributed to the Industrial Revolution. It was a commercial scale economic enslavement operation in which millions of people were uprooted Resistance of slaves helped bring about its abolition.

23 EMPIRE Global Learning The Big Ideas - Empires: An empire is where one person/or group rules several other states. The first Empires were created around 4300 years ago. Around 165 Empires have existed in human history across the world. The idea of an empire has often been seen as something positive by the dominant state, but as negative or oppressive by those who have been conquered. Empires have been established by a range of means: military force, persuasion, provision of security, food supply and infrastructure eg. roads. Empires have usually been established mostly through military power but have endured because they provided benefits. Imperial rulers have often tried to justify their conquests eg. that they have a mission to civilize, educate and bring order to the world. Empires might provide benefits for their inhabitants (such as stability, peace, and food security) but also costs (eg. lack of control, alien laws and administration, taxes, prejudice). Empires have left deep negative and some positive legacies. Positive legacies of empires have included linguistic and cultural links, a sense of the interdependence of communities. Negative legacies include distrust, memory of injustices, such as the massacres of the conquered peoples. Today the term Empire is sometimes used as a criticism. Economic power is sometimes seen as imperialist, eg. the American Empire. Britain and other colonial powers created new artificial countries which included many different cultural groups. As with other empires the British Empire created problems and benefits. The British Empire was dismantled in the 1960s, but it has continued to try and extend its influence over its former colonies. This is called neo-colonialism. The political domination during the colonial era continues to impact the lives of many people in the world today, informing how people in the rich North view those in the poorer South. Colonisation has increased consciousness of the inter-dependence of the world community. In some sense, humanity may be evolving to a stage when exploitation of others and promotion of self-interest is yielding to a new understanding of what it means to be human. From 1815, Britain became the world s only superpower for more than a century and made its empire even larger. The elliptical Reflection Tool sheet at the end of this section can be used as an Assessment/Reflection Tool for the students to check their understanding of Global Learning Big Ideas in History. Global Learning The Big Ideas - The British Empire: The British Empire began as an extension of its trading interests and the need for raw materials, as well as for markets to sell its manufactured goods. From 1815, Britain became the world s only superpower for more than a century and made its empire even larger. By 1922, more than 458 million people lived in the British Empire. The British Empire was one among other European and non-european colonial empires. Colonialism was often justified by the (ethnocentric) belief that British morals and values were superior to those of the colonised These attitudes led the people who ruled the empire to do things which still have a consequence today eg. Amritsar Massacre. All materials are also available to download from:
