The Falklands Conflict 1982

(1)
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.
