WW2 - What Contribution Did the Empire Play?

This lesson contains:
A starter which reteaches previously taught material, which can be edited to suit whatever you previously taught.
An overview of the war and its global impact. Students then see two short examples of why people fought and look at the different experiences of a person from British Africa and British Caribbean. They might speculate as to why these experiences were different.
An overview of why people from the empire fought. Students then take notes in a mind map or bullet point format from the board.
A main task to study 7 information cards, one from different parts of the empire, and to assess their contributions. They record these on the worksheet.
A video and then excerpt to judge whether empire troops received recognition and the respect they deserved for their contributions. The video and excerpt give different interpretations of this so that students can make a judgement.
A plenary to support or contradict David Olusoga’s quote about the empire and its contribution.
