Overview
During this lesson, students will appreciate the importance of equality by comparing inequalities of the past to their lives today. They will produce a timeline of laws that have been introduced to tackle discrimination and will compete as equality champions in an Equality Act 2010 quiz. Finally, they create an argument that challenges a view that our country was better and fairer in the 'good old days'.
