There’s not enough time in the day to day to do a proper post on this – but I wanted to post a little about Code Academy – at www.codecademy.com.
This is a brilliant way of learning how to code in Java Script.

The one site you’ll need for your presentation
Morning year 9!
Today we’re doing a presentation that persuades. I started with a pretty ropey one, to show you what shouldn’t be done.
We’re going to decide which of the weapons of the First World War was the ‘great’-est.
We will use the great criteria on your sheets, which are:
Source – “Teaching History” Journal
I do want to restrict you to ONE website only – as this isn’t a research lesson – it’s a using facts to persuade lesson.

How did they persuade men to fight in the war?
Hello year 9s!
Today we’ve been looking at government propaganda and how the governmetn persuaded young men to join the army in 1914 and the 1915. We looked at some examples of propaganda, which you can find here.
We also made a list of push factors (things that made the men want to leave their homes) and pull factors (things that attracted them to the army).
Your homework is to make a poster, which uses at least one pull and one push factor to persuade men to join the army in 1914-1915.
