Activities. ( At the start of the lesson you could set the chairs out so that the girls are sat on one side and the boys on the other. Also label the board Girls/ Boys so that the seats correspond with the signs, thus linking in with the topic of ‘Segregation’ and the signs used to depict this.)

    2. Who would display these?

    Why were they introduced?
