Teaching ideas
This lesson can be used as an online lesson for students to progress through, or you can download and print the worksheet (DOCX or PDF). Feel free to adapt the DOCX version to meet your student's needs.
Activities are embedded throughout the resource. This helps students chunk and consolidate their learning after each section. Students can complete the activities on devices or in workbooks.
Options for activities at the end of the resource give students choices when consolidating and synthesising their learning.
Tables with headings are included as suggestions.
QR codes to further reading on the Anzac Portal may be ideal as extension opportunities.
Use an image of the landscape of Gallipoli as an initial provocation. Ask the students what difficulties they would face attacking a place like this.
