Starter
Look at the poster opposite
What tactics does this poster suggests the Chartists used?
Discuss this question in your pairs and note down some ideas in the back of your books
SAMPLE
Between 1837 and 1848 the Chartists used a number of tactics to try to achieve the Charter. They also
experienced some high and many low points.
Task One
Draw the graph (to the right) on a new page, it should take up the whole page
Cut out the nine events from the sheet and position each them where you think they belong on the graph in your book
Was each event a ‘brilliant success’ or a ‘disastrous defeat’ you decide! Use the key to help you make a decision
You should also put the events in date order along the y axis of your graph
When you are certain you have each of the events in the correct place, stick them in!
Key to plotting the events:
3 to 5: brilliant success for the Chartists 1 to 2: positive development for the Chartists
0: neither side wins
-1 to -2: a defeat for the Chartists -3 to -5: a disastrous defeat for the Chartists
+5
-5
Brilliant success
Disastrous defeat

Task Two
In your books…
Write a paragraph explaining some of the violent and peaceful methods that the Chartists used
You should also say which you think were the most successful
SAMPLE
Plenary
In 1848 the Third Charter was rejected
However, by 1950 five out of the six points of the Charter had been achieved
Does this mean that Chartism was a success or a failure?
Write a paragraph in your books of no more than 100 words to explain your answer
