I made this for a low level Year 8 group, it is a WW1 song (Hanging from the Old Barbed Wire), Flanders Fields, My Boy Jack and Dulce Et Decorum Est with some posters and facts for context. Best printed in A3 colour, stapled and used over several lessons.

Here is a skill based lesson centred (somewhat dubiously) on Good King Wenceslas. I’ve added the maximum amount of nods to Christmas and fun that I could without resorting to actually addressing Christmas or having fun. Feel free to use it if it’s any use to you.
