£0.00

2 HOURS - Best suited to UKS3 or KS4 (could also be used for KS5 if wished). A brand new lesson created for students to digest and evaluate the horrific events we saw in the UK in summer 2024. Students will investigate how misinformation over social media caused riots across the UK, how the memory of a tragedy was hijacked by thugs who looted and attacked cities, and if there’s anything we can do to help stop such events in future, through critical thinking and awareness of mob mentality.
Students will also explore the harsh penalties given by the government to deter would-be-rioters in future and how counter-protesters took to the streets to protect communities, mosques and other public buildings.
