Osborne House : A Handbook for Teachers (2 Rev ed)

This is one of a series designed to help teachers planning a site visit.

Historical background is combined with a variety of possible study approaches, documentary sources and photocopiable activity sheets for classroom and on-site work, together with practical information about the site.

Focusing on Queen Victoria's seaside home on the Isle of Wight, this book suggests a number of approaches, including role-play, looking at the house as an example of Victorian social life and seeing it as a contemporary conservation problem.

Ideas for following up include recipes, instructions for an optical toy and pin-hole photography.
