For the new AQA exam, students need to have a sound contextual base for the 19th century text. This introduces them to the time and allows for some independent research.

Students are encouraged to infer and comment on the way the Truce has been portrayed.

(TWO LESSONS WORK AT LEAST) Students are given a variety of speeches to re construct- as they do this, they need to think about HOW and WHY the speech was structured in this way. Once done, (this took a significant amount of time!) they need to annotate why they made the decisions that they did and compare it to the original. You will need to cut up the speeches before the lesson!
