Writing home

In today’s lesson we’re going to explore the reasons that people write home.  We’ll start off by brainstorming these reasons, and then we’ll hear about one particular letter that was not quite as it seemed.

When we’ve done that I’m going to set you a very special task to start in the lesson and finish at home.  We’ll then listen to a ppt presentation before moving on to look at some information about trench life in groups.

I really hope you like this lesson – it’s one of my favourites in the year 9 course!

Work for Mr P’s year 9 history class:

Dear all,

sorry I can’t be with you this afternoon.

Last lesson we were together we studied the propaganda of the First World War.  You are doing some homework about making such propaganda.

In today’s lesson you’ll be making a presentation about the truth of the first world war.  Download this presentation , and using this site make me a presentation, word document or publisher document setting out the truth of life on the front line in the First World War.

When you’re finished you can email it to me.

Thanks

Mr P.

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.
