Life on the Western Front - an interactive decision making exercise The Role of Britain in the First World war
|
The Home Front in the First World WarWhy are some of the letters big and red? There's a lot to remember on this course, so use anything you can to help simplify things. One easy way of condensing the information into memorable chunks is to use mneumonics. These can be used when the first letter(s) of related words spell out another word. So, for example, The Defence of the Realm Act, becomes DORA. Some of these mneumonics are so common that the exam board use them - DORA is probably the best example of that. Part 1:Key Content Use these mneumonics to refresh your memory. Your projects (if you are one of my students) should cover all of the items noted below. Censorship Attitudes to the war Recruitment Defence Of the Realm Act Submarine Warfare - impact of Organisation Rationing The role of women Part Two: Revision Diagram It's all good and well knowing ThRoW, CARDSORT and DORA but what do they actually mean? You need to be able to use these mnuemonics as prompts to knowledge. The next exercise asks you to revise the content that you have studied so far. In class we will work through this fairly quickly, as you SHOULD be able to provide 4 or 5 ideas for each topic that is covered in the revision diagram on the next page.
