As an introduction to the visit to The Imperial War Museum in London, which will take place in the autumn, we are going to take a closer look at the two world wars, starting with WWI.
I will post all the links to films used as soon as we have seen them in class. Any other material, such as poetry, will be posted on Vklass but mentioned here so you do not forget about it.
Information about course core content and knowledge requirements will be at the very bottom of this post, since it quite a lot of information.
Here are links to the films we watched about World War 1, Tuesday 24th February 2015.
Rap Battle - Origins WW1
Letters from the Treches
The Christmas Truce
The Role of Women in WW1
Pack Up Your Problems (song)
