First World War - Scheme of Work

‘Why are historians still arguing about the First World War?’

Using original letters, reports, photographs and maps, students follow an enquiry led approach via six modules of 1-3 lessons each. Working with these sources your students will be able to put the evidence to the test and bust a series of common myths about this conflict, including were the soldiers ‘lions led by donkeys’ or did ’women spent the war nursing and knitting’.

This scheme of work is designed as an an ‘off the peg’ resource for students learning about the First World War at Key Stage 3-4.
