This enquiry focuses on the experiences of Irish migrants in Liverpool.
It fulfils the case study listed in the specification ‘Liverpool in the nineteenth century: its role in migration and the experiences of migrants, including Irish migrants’.
Students plot Irish migrants’ changing experiences over time on to a graph.
Next they complete a ‘tug of war’ activity in which they are challenged with finding evidence to substantiate two different arguments.
Finally, they ‘put the cherry on top’ of an exam-style response, improving the answer with specific contextual knowledge.
