Description: In the third workshop, we’ll consider how significant but complicated movements and legislation — like radical politics and the Great Reform Act — can be brought back down to earth in the classroom through personal stories and regional scene setting.  We’ll explore the key second-order concept of change and continuity during the period of early 19th century electoral reform, comparing political perspectives from across demographics, regions and the political spectrum — including those of women and working-class individuals. We’ll unpack how teaching about setting and identity can help students understand peoples’ motives, actions and responses during times of change: significant for who?  Teacher takeaways:  Curated, classroom-ready sources from History of Parliament Trust and other archive partners to get students closer to original 19th century documents  Ready-to-teach editable slides recapping the stories in brief  Ideas for incorporating stories into your existing schemes of work  Access to our Substack and website, apeopleshistory.uk
