Students will take notes from information and videos in the PowerPoint.
Students will then undertake practice exam source questions including a Describe and a Compare question. Students who finish early have the option to write a letter about the conditions from the perspective of a soldier in the trenches.

National 4 students will also complete source questions, however these questions can instead be used to gather a portfolio of evidence for their unit assessments, or to help prepare them to take on National 5 in the future. Other tasks include a Pals Battalion comprehension task with questions, and a 'create your own' recruitment advertisement activity for those in National 4 or National 5 students who finish early. While there may appear to be only one activity, they will be revealed through the course of the PowerPoint due to animations and so on!
