*FULL LESSON* What happened on the First Day of the Somme? 20th Century History Lessons KS3

In this part of our series on 20th Century History Lesson, students investigate the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Using a newspaper clipping as the initial stimulus to set the hypothesis, students then research how far the source is accurate in relation to a range of other material. The focus is on interpretation but the lesson gives the class ample opportunities to categorise and analyse sources in depth using a NOPCUR Grid (Nature/Origin/Purpose/Context/Utility/Reliability). There is lots of pair work and independent work too. All worksheets and resources accompany this full KS3 lesson. All resources are fully editable.
