This lesson plan outlines a social science class about the 1857 revolt against British rule in India. The teacher will have students analyze the causes of the revolt, understand its effects, and critique British practices. Students will learn facts about the revolt through a video, pictures of Mangal Pandey and victims, and a map. They will discuss in groups the reasons for the revolt's failure. The class aims to address the lack of student awareness about the revolt's causes and consequences.
