This resource includes a comprehension question worksheet and teacher answer sheet for evaluating the historical references and the significance of the historical events represented in the historic Christmas film ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’.
A perfect activity for a History themed, Christmas film lesson or as part of a co-curricular History film club to consolidate their knowledge, ‘test’ the accuracy of the films’ representation of History and provide some engaging talking and discussion points afterwards!
The film takes place in America and spans the 1920s-1940s with the majority of the film centered on the 1930s. With numerous features and excellent references to the economic boom, 1920s entertainment and city life, the Wall Street Crash, the Great Depression and the impact of WWII, this film is perfect for crystalising the key concepts within any America depth study or module (especially for the IGCSE and GCSE curricula) and bringing History to life (against the backdrop of Christmas!)
