Précis

Using cards, students match the image of a park area or ride with corresponding historical information, then re-order them into correct chronological order!

Contextual Summary

This is a pre- or post-visit history resource that engages students with their visit to Blackgang Chine Theme Park. The resource task challenges them to identify the historical periods and key facts featured as part of the park?s various attractions, and to place these in chronological order. Students are asked to match the cards then focus on placing the information in its correct historical / chronological order. This is a short task that students can complete before they go to familiarise themselves with the park?s attractions and their historical links, or they could complete the task back in the classroom.

Curriculum Relevance

History → Chronological Understanding → Placing events in chronological order

Implementation

This task could be used to complement the larger Blackgang history project task (ED resource number 106061). Students are asked to match the cards (cut up and jumbled by the teacher) then focus on placing the resulting information in its correct historical / chronological order. The low ability resource (106331) has colour-coded rows so it will be easier for students to match the cards, their main challenge will be the chronological ordering. Ideally, the resource needs to be completed immediately before or after the visit, to be most effective.
