Learning objectives

In this lesson, students will learn about the British Home Front during World War II, focusing on how ordinary citizens contributed to the war effort through industrial production, rationing, and government-led campaigns. They will also explore the social impact of the Blitz, evacuation, and propaganda, gaining a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by civilians and how these efforts helped sustain Britain during the war. Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, from reading and research options, as well as the chance to engage in extension activities.
