Lesson exploring the significance of Britain’s contribution to the end of the Cold War. The image starter asks students to consider how Communism collapsed, linking in contextual knowledge of the ‘state’ of the Cold War by 1987. The video outlines the collapse in Eastern Europe, encouraging students to link in knowledge of other factors that were significant in ending the Cold War. Students then assess the value of a source by Charles Powell, considering the role of Thatcher, leading to a group task assessing the contribution of Thatcher, Gorbachev and Bush/Reagan in ending the Cold War. With the completion of the table, students then answer a significance question on the role of Britain in ending the Cold War, using the indicative content to help.
