Lesson Planning

Give children a 1950’s school day or morning! Boys and girls are segregated, they are doing different tasks and there is NO talking!

Teaching Outcomes
To talk about the key features of day-to-day life in the 1950s.
To write a piece of ‘news’ as a 1950s child.

Children will:

• Recall key features of day-to-day life in the 1950s.
• Role play a school day (or morning) as it would have been in the 1950s.
• Write a simple ‘news’ entry in role as a child of the 1950s.
