As a subset of the Who Do We Think We Are (WDWTWA) Project, this Key Stage 3 unit of study about the history of the Union flag was written by Andrew Wrenn, Advisory History Teacher (Historical Association). The unit comprises seven lessons which provide opportunities for young people to investiga More…te the historical origins of the present Union flag, analyse depictions of the flag since 1897 and also discuss whether the current flag should be re-designed for the 21st century.
