A lesson that preps students for the GCSE 'how far' style question. Students are introduced to a range of issues faced by people on the Home Front which they categorise and prioritise before writing a response to a how far question. There a three sources which they need to link to their chose categories and use to support their findings. There is a writing frame provided for the less able as well as sentence stems and key words to include and support your students. As always there are step by step instructions.

Did all Americans benefit during the Economic Boom?

(0)
Students are introduced to the groups who did or did not benefit during the economic boom years. Once they have identified each group they complete a table activity to explain how/ why groups did or did not benefit. The main activity introduces the students to post cards from the boom years (which show Americans living a lavish lifestyle etc). The pupils have to create their own annotated postcard that accurately illustrates how the economic boom years should be represented (positive and negative images). There is a GCSE question to complete at the end of the lesson. I usually teach this over 2 lessons.
