WW2 - What Were the Experiences of the Evacuees?

This lesson contains:

• A starter which reteaches previously taught material, which can be edited to suit whatever you previously taught.
• An overview of the bombing of major cities and the purpose of the evacuations. Students looks at some sources and figures of those evacuated and draw assumptions about the meaning or intent behind some of the propaganda behind the evacuation initiative.
• The main task to study what the experiences were like. Students watch a video and discuss how reliable it is as a source, then look at the sources on the information sheet provided and find positive and negative experiences. Students then write about how lives were changed by the war.
• A plenary to consider what five items they would take with them if they were evacuated.
