As my class is currently studying World War II I wanted to create a resource for guided reading that supported the current theme. The class struggle to find evidence and use direct quotes in their answers so this is one of the lesson objectives, hence a great deal of evidence hunting. I hope this resource is equally useful to others as I struggled to find anything ready-made about Dunkirk meeting both poetry and guided reading criteria.
