Enquiry 1
Why and how might we remember the FWW?
This enquiry aims to stimulate student inquisitiveness and imagination in their growing understanding of why and how we remember the First World War. During the course of this enquiry students will collaborate and persist to explore and develop their knowledge and understanding of concepts of change and continuity, causes and consequences of significant developments through a series of overview enquiry questions that include considering dominant and alternative narratives. |

1 Private Peaceful |
This resource, produced in partnership with the National Literacy Trust and aimed primarily at Key Stage 3, is based around the film Private Peaceful - the 2012 screen adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's book of the same name. It provides a timely, in-depth and collaborative way to mark the centenary of the World War I with your students.
From script analysis to investigating the science of chemical warfare and the geography of war torn landscapes, the resource spans six different themes. For each of these themes - which include curriculum links to History, English and Science - you'll find teachers notes, discussion questions, recommended activities and worksheets. All of which are complemented and enhanced by PowerPoint presentations with embedded Private Peaceful film clips. |
