This is a Scottish National 4/5 History lesson on the changing role of women at the start of the 20th Century. While the content is appropriate for experiences of people from across Britain, some activities are tailored towards the Scottish examination system and experience. As I operate a mixed class, there are activities designed for both National 4 and National 5 included within the lesson.

The lesson looks at the expected roles of women before WWI, and how WWI helped to change this through the new jobs and roles in society they took on. Students will also complete practice source questions, and if they finish early they have a range of tasks to choose from.
