A Scheme of Work I do with my Yr9's that mixes the political and social history of the Cold War. They explore how political events panned out during the decades of the Cold War and then in the following lesson investigate what life was like for teenagers at the time. This pack also includes: - A SOW with lesson objectives/outcomes and suggested activities with links. - Resources that can be used with a number of the lessons To help resource this further; get hold of some teenager magazines from the 80s (i.e. BJ magazine) and photocopy them, the BBC documentary box set called the Twentieth Century and some items such as Walkman's and records. These are great to use as discussion points during lessons. I got hold of most from other (older) teachers and TA's. Also a good excuse to go hunting around family lofts for toys, board games, newspapers and defunct electronics. I can't stress how much pupils and you will enjoy this unit. It's a nostalgic journey into a key era of world history. Also still very relevant now.
