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.
