This lesson revisits the very first
lesson of the course. This time however the activity and
(hopefully) your level of understanding are much more
sophisticated.
This will be a full class, video debate. Six teams are chosen to represent Germany, Austria-Hungary,
Russia, Britain, France and Serbia. Depending on numbers, a small
group of students may wish to take responsibility for digital
filming and video editing. (see Resources opposite)
Teams prepare for the debate by (i) planning a number of
questions to be put to the other 5 countries and (ii) planning a
defence of your own country against accusations that you were
responsible for starting the war.
Each country takes a turn in the 'dock', attempting to defend
themselves against the rest of the class. Merits awarded for best
performances.
