This lesson contains:
- A starter about the Somme and to summarise the viewpoint of a person who was there are the time.
- A teacher-led overview of trenches, what they were and what they looked like. There is a consolidation discussion to decide what they can see going on in a typical trench and what questions they would ask.
- A comprehension gap fill task based on the knowledge they just gained about trenches.
- A task to watch a video about trenches and to label their own cross-section. They then use the information on the board to label the design of the trenches, including the front, support and reserve trenches etc.
- An opportunity to teach how to do the ‘follow up’ question and then to practice it.
- An optional extension to watch a YouTube video and argue why trenches were so neccesary based on the new weapons of war.
