A lesson designed to take students through the causes and events of the Falklands Conflict and end with a developed paragraph discussing the factors behind the British victory. There is enough content here to easily stretch across 2 (if not 3!) lessons. It has also been successfully taught to KS2 and 4 - but also to Sea Cadet groups across the UK.
It is a topic that is rarely taught in schools - but one that is fascinating and gets students engaged. A useful lesson for the end of term or as part of a wider study on Thatcher’s Britain and/or the Cold War.
Lesson sequence as follows:
Where is the Falklands? Guess the location.
Why was it invaded? – Quiz Quiz Trade
Thatcher’s response ïƒ Reading comprehension
The task force ïƒ Match up task
The taskforce ïƒ How would you structure it?
The Belgrano ïƒ Right or wrong?
The battle and landing events ïƒ Relay.
Factors for success ïƒ Diamond 9
Pick a factor and turn it into a PEEKA paragraph.
