This scheme of work is suitable for KS3 students studying conflict post WW2. Throughout the unit we examine themes of causation, change and continuity. Lessons will test a range of skills such as comprehension, source analysis, exam technique and independent practice. There are 7 lessons in the scheme consisting of: L1 - What was the Cold War? L2 - The division of Germany L3 - The Truman Doctrine + Marshall Plan L4 - The Berlin Blockade L5 - The Cuban Missile Crisis L6 - The Vietnam War L7 - The end of the USSR The course is centered around an independent project where students will decide for themselves what the main cause of conflict was after WW2. This is not essential to do though and departments can choose whether or not they complete the project with students or just do the lessons. There is a special lesson on the Cuban Missile Crisis where students take part in a situational game to see how they would have handled the crisis alongside how JFK did, this is very well received within our year 9 groups.

This fits perfectly into our new KS3 year 9 plan as it is accessible but also gives students the practice and useful knowledge they will require going into GCSE in year 10.
