First World War Project: Make a lesson

First World War Project Make a lesson: Teach a lesson

A quick project lesson on the First World War, ideal for cover lessons or when you’ve got a lot of marking to do!

Students can select one of the following three topics to create their own lesson about – ready to teach the following lesson.

1. Battle of the Somme
2. Trench Conditions
3. Battle of Tannenberg
4. The Red Baron

Also gives the students an appreciation for how lessons are constructed and a guided group work activity with plenty of examples. The quiz-quiz-trade demonstration at the beginning also adds an interesting element to the lesson (based on other areas of the First World War – but the idea is they create their own QQT on the First World War)

Lesson consists of:

1. Intro and set up
2. Quiz-Quiz-Trade demonstration (and 6 keyword cards to do it with)
3. Outline of lesson creation task and 3 x fact sheets to assist.
4. Included are templates for the QQT and cartoon stip activity option, QQT examples and fact sheets.
