This workpack is designed as an aid for you in the classroom, both with academic and practical work.

We have tried to cover some of the most prominent issues of the topic, and these have been grouped into the following sections:

   ‘VICTORIAN’ ENGLAND?  VICTORIAN TIMELINE

  NOTABLE PEOPLE   CHILDREN & WORK

  THE INDUSTRIAL AGE  THE POOR & THE WORKHOUSE

  WOMEN’S PLACE IN SOCIETY   THE GREAT EXHIBITION

  FOOD & DRINK  THE MONARCHY

  VICTORIANS ACTIVITIES   DOWNLOADABLE WORKSHEETS

We’ve included some ideas for exercises and activities in each section but don’t feel that you need to follow just these ideas - treat them as a starting point for your own, and the childrens, development of the themes in the play.
