An overview of migration to Britain in one lesson. This is a three-part single lesson, which is intended to give an overview of the movement to, and settlement in, Britain by people from various parts of the world since the Romans.
1. Starter: Where are you from?
2. Who has come to Britain, and when?
3. How accurate are the statements about when people came to Britain?
The lesson
a. enables students to begin to question some generally accepted views about migration

such as ‘What was it like to be an Irish immigrant in Britain in the 19th century?’
