A lesson designed to take students through the causes and events of the Falklands Conflict and end with a developed paragraph discussing the factors behind the British victory. There is enough content here to easily stretch across 2 (if not 3!) lessons. It has also been successfully taught to KS2 and 4 - but also to Sea Cadet groups across the UK.
It is a topic that is rarely taught in schools - but one that is fascinating and gets students engaged. A useful lesson for the end of term or as part of a wider study on Thatcher’s Britain and/or the Cold War.
Lesson sequence as follows:
Where is the Falklands? Guess the location.
Why was it invaded? – Quiz Quiz Trade
Thatcher’s response Reading comprehension
The task force Match up task
The taskforce How would you structure it?
The Belgrano Right or wrong?
The battle and landing events Relay.
Factors for success Diamond 9
Pick a factor and turn it into a PEEKA paragraph.

An extract from Katja Hoyer’s excellent ‘Blood and Iron’.
It is the chapter which provides a ‘summary of the First World War’ and takes the conflict up until the battles of Verdun and the Somme. There are 8 comprehension questions and has been used successfully with Year 9 students to get them to engage with extended reading and history scholarship.
I used it as an introduction to the topic but it could equally fit as a homework or a recap task at the end of the unit.
Hope it helps.
