The Cold War is often ignored in Year 9 history because is a perceived lack of resources available or simply that the two World Wars take up so much teaching time. This Lesson aims to give a basic overview of the Cold War and focus on a few examples of how it affected the world.
This is such a good topic to cover as it hits so many aspects of the Key Stage 3 programme of study. The nature of the cold war means that it covers more than British history. It also covers many different cultures and the conflict between them. It offers the students an opportunity to see very clearly how historians and people can have different interpretations of events and as such is a good way of showing the risks of using and trusting all sources.
Activity Aims:
1. To understand what the Cold War was?
2. To investigate a few examples of the Cold War in practice.
3. To develop the students understanding of propaganda.
