History topic of the month
Our history team have put their heads together to come up with some topics highlighting significant moments of diversity and inclusion throughout history. We think you and your Key Stage 3 students will find these topics interesting and we hope they will help to generate some stimulating discussion in your classroom.
Every month we will provide a downloadable worksheet featuring information about the topic and discussion questions to help get the conversation going, as well as a poster for your classroom.
November: Votes for Women!
With world attention on the results of this month's US election, the history team thought that 'Votes for Women' and their struggle to be represented was a fitting topic.

October: Windrush
We are delighted to bring you our first history topic of the month. This month it is Black History Month. However, at Pearson, we believe that diversity and inclusion should not be confined to a single month but a crucial and ongoing part of everything that we do.
Our first topic is on Windrush and post-war immigration to Britain.
This worksheet contains an overview of Windrush, as well as discussion questions and useful links, so your students can find out more about this interesting topic.
This poster is for your classroom and will help you to explain the situation of many migrants who came to Britain from the West Indies on the ship called the Empire Windrush in 1948.
