This is a Scottish National 4/5 History lesson on tactics and training used on the Western Front in WWI. While the content is appropriate for experiences of soldiers from across Britain, some activities are tailored towards the Scottish examination system. As I operate a mixed class, there are activities designed for both National 4 and National 5 included within the lesson.

Students learn about the tactics and training methods Scottish (and British) troops experienced during WWI. Students study a set of tactics and consider their strengths and weaknesses. Following this there are practice exam source questions with basic marking criteria included so students can peer mark if desired.
