World War 2 Home Front Bundle

This bundle follows the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum - challenges for Britain, Europe and the wider world 1901 to the present day with a focus on the Second World War and the wartime leadership of Winston Churchill.

The aims of this bundle are to know and understand how people’s lives in Britain were affected by World War 2 under the guidance of Winston Churchill.

I have created, readapted and used these lessons to challenge and engage students, but also to show how much fun learning about this part of history really is.

Students will learn and understand key historical skills throughout such as continuity and change in the role and use of propaganda in World War II, the causes and consequences of the policy of appeasement, breaking the Enigma Code or the evacuation of children, the similarities and differences of life on the Home Front, the significance of Winston Churchill and interpretations about whether there really was a Blitz spirit.

The lessons are as follows:
L1 Adolf Hitler
L2 Causes of World War II
L3 Appeasement
L4 Winston Churchill
L5 The Home Front - preparations
L6 The Home Front - propaganda
L7 The Home Front - rationing
L8 The Home Front - women (free lesson)
L9 Evacuation of children
L10 The Blitz
L11 The Enigma Code
L12 Prisoners of war (free lesson)
L13 Occupation of the Channel Islands

This bundle includes retrieval practice activities, suggested teaching strategies and differentiated materials.

All lessons come in Powerpoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.

I have also included two free lessons in the bundle to give an idea of what is being offered.

I would also strongly recommend you assess students on this unit of study based on GCSE style questions from your chosen exam board.
