About this title

From the Author

World War Two studied through real sources
Very useful for schools and includes a short story as well as making pupils question the myths which have grown around the behaviour of those at the Home Front and the authorities.

Synopsis

Pupils who have learned the introductory historical skills could go on to apply those to one particular theme such as Britain during the World War II. Here is a collection of source material of many difficult kinds which will help pupils build up a picture of what life at home in Britain was like. They can find out about air raids, evacuation, propaganda, shortages, the role of men and women, salvage, saving and generally how people coped. The book has been pitched at the 12 and 14 age group, ie Key Stage 3 of the National Curriculum or S1 and S2 in Scotland, and all the activities and discussion points should be easily handled.
