A lesson designed to take students through the causes and events of the Falklands Conflict and end with a developed paragraph discussing the factors behind the British victory. There is enough content here to easily stretch across 2 (if not 3!) lessons. It has also been successfully taught to KS2 and 4 - but also to Sea Cadet groups across the UK. It is a topic that is rarely taught in schools - but one that is fascinating and gets students engaged. A useful lesson for the end of term or as part of a wider study on Thatcher’s Britain and/or the Cold War. Lesson sequence as follows: Where is the Falklands? Guess the location. Why was it invaded? – Quiz Quiz Trade Thatcher’s response  Reading comprehension The task force  Match up task The taskforce  How would you structure it? The Belgrano  Right or wrong? The battle and landing events  Relay. Factors for success  Diamond 9 Pick a factor and turn it into a PEEKA paragraph.

A lesson designed to get students to study one of the campaigns/battles that do not usually get taught in History lessons in much detail. Students choose one of these ‘forgotten campaigns’ and create a presentation on it. The presentation must meet a set criteria – which is then used for peer assessment when the groups come to present. The criteria includes a PEEKA paragraph (of which an example is included) and using the key word flash cards that are included in the PowerPoint that refer to their specific campaign. Any additional research is seen as a bonus and is encouraged. Also includes a Google Form plenary quiz. We’ve had lots of success with this lesson and the students really embrace learning about a new topic and presenting to their classmates. The use of a peer criteria check list ensures all students are focussed when their peers are presenting. It can get quite competitive… !
