Didactical Analysis of The Great Exhibition 1851 as an Example for Teaching the Victorian Age in German Schools

Project Report from the year 2017 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Miscellaneous, grade: bestanden, Technical University of Braunschweig (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), language: English, abstract: How can this topic be used in the classroom? What can our students learn from it? In my opinion, the Great Exhibition should be used by teachers as an example for the Victorian Age when teaching British English history in schools due to the fact that it perfectly exemplifies the contrast between humans, industrialization and nature. In the further procedure, I will examine the historical context of the Great Exhibition 1851 and conduct an analysis about how a lesson, focusing on this topic, could be constructed. Furthermore, I want to focus on how industry and nature are presented during the Great Exhibition and how the humans in between dealt with these topics.
