How to use this resource

This works brilliantly as either a standalone lesson or the culmination of a dark tourism scheme of work. Students select two dark tourism sites from your provided list and use internet research to gather maps, images, routes from the UK, and historical information. The brochure format makes the task engaging whilst developing research, presentation, and geographical skills. You might allocate one or two lessons depending on your class and the depth of research required. The success criteria ensure students produce comprehensive, visually appealing work that demonstrates their understanding of what makes these locations significant examples of dark tourism.
