**A fully planned and resourced 6 week unit on World War 1. Suitable for upper KS2 but easily adaptable for lower KS2. ** The unit follows a historical enquiry cycle, with key questions throughout. Teaching strategies focus on visual tools and active learning, so that children have a constant frame of reference for these events that are almost out of living memory. Each lesson can be kept ‘short and sweet’ or you have the option to ‘explore deeper’ with discussion about all the key concepts. Covers the National Curriculum objective: ’ A study of an aspect or theme in British history that extends pupils’ chronological knowledge beyond 1066’.
