As I said, you may work in pairs if you like – so if any of you others would like to work with one of the above or one of you would like to invite a helper, please do so but if you can let me know your decisions that would be good Make about 5 or 6 slides in PP First go to this page: @http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/primaryhistory/victorian_britain/ where you will find your title – click on it and there are some words, pictures and maybe a video and some other places to look. This will give you a good start! Please have these with by Wednesday Afternoon as it takes quite a bit of fiddling to get them into the classroom – if yours is much later than that, I do not promise to add yours, as I may not have the time. =__Extra links__= Some of the links on the left hand side of the apge are Victorian but some are from later: @http://www.vam.ac.uk/moc/childrens_lives/index.html A few more ideas here to explore @http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/Homework/victorians/children/ A good place to look for pictures: @http://www.hiddenlives.org.uk/photographs/index.html Optical toys @http://courses.ncssm.edu/gallery/collections/toys/opticaltoys.htm
