Looking at the different influences of propaganda and conscription students examine why people joined up to fight. The oral testimonies are all from the BBC website. I also used a clip from BBC Learning Zone of one of the last veterans. I attached the EAL sheet just in case anybody else needed it.

Students start by watching a video (link is in the notes for the powerpoint) - although it is designed for younger students my Year 9 class liked it. Students then create an advert for Cadbury's Dairy Milk using as many key words as they can. There is additional information for Level 6/7+ on the second page of the task sheet.

This is a background lesson before students started the controlled coursework task on the Impact of WWI on civilians in Britain. For the activity I spread the information slides (at the last part of the PPT) around the room. They then filled the worksheet in using these. For the plenary you can print off a 'brain shape' for the 'fill your brain' activity. The clips for the activities are in the notes section of the powerpoint.
