P7A - World War 2 Presentations

The pupils were tasked with investigating an aspect of the home front. Working in pairs they looked at:

• The Role of Women
• Gas Masks and Blackouts
• Air Raid Shelters
• Evacuation
• Rationing

To report back to the class on their findings the children used various methods, which included:

• Acting out scenarios from the Second World War
• Using animations created on video
• Presenting via a news broadcast / 'weather 'forecast
  
• Using music
• Using audio created on garageband
• Posters
• Quizzes
• Humour
  

This shows the class took a wide and diverse approach to this task. In many cases the pupils also supported their reporting back with a PowerPoint Presentation. These may be viewed by following the links below. Unfortunately, the functionality of Google Docs (where these files are hosted) does not present the 'fully' developed show, ie sounds and order of display are not shown.

Enjoy.

Morrison shelters were like big cages and were also used as tables.Anderson shelters were dark, damp and outside.
