In this 10 week history lesson, learners will explore the theme of Crime and Punishment through time. 

This class is great for learners who are less confident with history, and/or reading. The content is delivered in an easy-to access style. The reading level required is around grade 5-7.

They will begin by exploring what is meant by crime and punishment, and then each lesson will build chronologically upon the previous. We will first learn what crime and punishment was like in Roman Britain, before moving through the Anglo-Saxon period, the Tudors, the Stuarts, Georgian Britain and Victorian Britain. We will end the unit by considering how the police force in the UK developed in the 20th century, and by comparing what crime and punishment is like today compared to the past. We will end with an online escape room, to revise everything we have learned.

Throughout the lessons, learners will learn to consider historical sources and understand how they can be interpreted. 

The lessons are delivered with direct but informal instruction. There will plenty of opportunity for questions and wonder. Learners can use their mics or the chat box.

They may be able to note connections and trends over time and develop the appropriate use of historical terms, such as: crime, period, chronology, deter, severe, court, tithing, wergild, ordeal, jury, treason, abolish, custody, incriminate, pact, jailer, oakum, industrial, promotion, unarmed, detective, prevention, detection, rehabilitation.
