Famous event in the past
This lesson introduces a famous event in the past through personal family history.
The photograph of Angela’s grandfather, and the surrounding illustrations, provided a direct route into discussions about remembrance and war, then ranged wider still.
The teaching relates to QCA Unit 17 ‘What are we remembering on Remembrance Day?’
The children’s literacy was extended throughout in the areas of speaking and listening, discussion and debate, reference skills and writing. The topic also stimulated excellent artwork by the children.
