TASK 3: CONSIDERING THE EVIDENCE

Now you are ready to reflect upon the information and to consider: Was Britain great at the turn of the Twentieth Century?

a) Put a key above or below your table or mindmap. Use one colour for 'great' and a different colour for 'not great'.

b) Go back over your notes, highlighting points which showed Britain to be 'great' and points which showed Britain not to be great.

BRING THESE NOTES WITH YOU TO THE FIRST BRITISH HISTORY LESSON (MRS BROMLEY'S) AFTER THE SUMMER HOLIDAY.
