This activity is suitable for students in upper KS2 as well as KS3. They are given National Archives sources, paintings and photos of artefacts to use as evidence for deciding whether statements related to the Battle of Britain are true or false. These documents are all included in the PPT deck, ready to be printed.
They will work in groups of 3, 4 or 5: each person in each group will have a different source which they will study (together with others who have been given the same sources in class) and then share with the rest of the group . They then complete an A3 sheet with True/False statements and provide evidence as a group.
Show the children a good example and a great example (see PPT slides). Ask them what makes the great example great and generate success criteria based on this.
Mini-plenaries: share group work with the rest of the class. This might start off some new discussions.
Discuss within the groups how they would rank the sources for reliability. Which ones could have been used as propaganda?
The sources vary in difficulty and can therefore be distributed accordingly.
