Conflict and Consequences

Manchester Regiment Collection. Conflict & Consequence Education Resource.
A series of creative sessions aimed at key stage 2 classes, looking at situations and stories relating to WW1 and the wider repercussions of conflict.
Below you will find information and links allowing you to access a variety of resources, films, scripts and lesson plans.
 
There are four schemes of work:
I Shall Remember Them
The Collectors
Why we Fight
Footsteps of our Fathers
 

The sessions are designed to link to our ‘Manchester Regiment’ collection, and can be used as stimulus to inspire the creation of dramatic scenes and creative pieces of writing linked to the themes running. Also available to support this work is the loan box ‘I shall remember them’, as well as our other military focussed loan boxes. This can be booked by contacting Portland Basin Museum on: 0161 342 5480.

To find a full list of loan boxes available please visit: Museum and Galleries Loan Boxes (tameside.gov.uk)

 
You will find that the schemes of work contain scripts, films, national curriculum links and lesson plans that encourage children and young people to use drama and creative philosophical enquiry to explore issues that arise from “Conflict & Consequence”. The lesson plans are linked directly to the topic of “War” but they also allow classes to explore the wider implications of the subject matter.
