WW2 - What Was Life Like on the Homefront?

This lesson contains:

• A starter which reteaches previously taught material, which can be edited to suit whatever you previously taught.

• An overview of what the Homefront was and how the concept of ‘Total War’ works, with a quote from a historian and examples of how it affects the home front.

• A few slides where the teacher can explain the adjustments to living that took place during the war, to ease into the main task. Students then use the two-page information sheet to complete the table provided with notes about the impact the war had on people at home.

• An opportunity to study a quote about total war and give examples of what they learnt that can verify or contradict the quote.

• A plenary to write a paragraph about life in the war.
