This lesson contains 11 slides, with interactive quizzes, text slides and 1 video.

Introduction

Part of the British Values series. In this lesson, we take a look at the work of the House of Lords and their role in checking and challenging the new rules that are proposed by Government.

Instructions

We have designed our British Values lessons so that teachers can pick up and teach a topic to their class with confidence.
We have chosen to use a balance of interactive tools and 'unplugged' creative activities.

Lessons can be taught directly from the LessonUp slides but work best when children have access to the pupil app
Lessonup.app

If you have any questions or want to know more, please do get in touch. We'd love to show you how LessonUp can make 'Every Class Better Than The Last'
