Lesson looks at the ‘miracle’ of Dunkirk using video clips, comprehension and source analysis.
Begins with a chronology starter intended to get class settled and show them the incredible speed with which the Germans were able to conquer mainland Europe. This is followed by a video and PPT explanation of the key points of Dunkirk, reinforced with a clip from the recent film.
Comprehension task makes use of Modern World History for AQA: Core Students Book New Edition (AQA Modern World History 2009) - if not available this can be replaced by other source/video material. (task can also be replaced with another similar).
Next part of lesson (can be made into 2 lessons if needed) looks at different interpretations of the evacuation firstly picture sources and then videos- one from a contemporary newsreel and another from the film Atonement. Class then need to analyse why the viewpoints are different.
Lesson/s finish with newspaper headlines from different viewpoints and ideas for possible homeworks.
