This lesson is titled “What can we learn from The Mayflower?”

This lesson begins with a Starter Activity in which the class are invited to decide which one of 5 statements about The Mayflower is not true (there WAS a baby born on the ship and named after the ocean!). There are then 6 slides of background information to allow teacher exposition, and the lesson title is introduced along with aims and graduated objectives (all will/most will/some will). Students then create a pop-up ship using the instructions given, before reviewing 19 artifacts and inferences. The class then present these before the lesson plenary in which they peer assess using the 5-criteria rubric. I hope your students get as much from this lesson as mine do. This lesson was written for high achieving high school students but can work for slightly younger students too.
