Research homework


Hi all,

To clarify the requirements for your homework. I'd like you to conduct some research into the context of the time at which the play was written, ie post-war Britain. Ideally, I'd like you to do this through comparing life in 1912 with life in 1946. You can present this information in the form of conventional notes, a mindmap, a powerpoint presentation or a poster, but it needs to be something which can be handed in and marked.

The two topics to I'd like you to focus on are:

- The importance of social class

- The role of women in society

There are many websites to help you with this: you may find that the BBC and the Bitesize site in particular may be useful. You'll need to be quite resourceful and resilient in digging out the information, and I would suggest that you remember and re-employ the skills you developed in your year 9 history project. You should spend about an hour on this task, and I'd like it to be handed in during our lesson on Wednesday.

OK, that's it - I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Have a fantastic weekend,

Mr Boulter
