English Resource Description
In Lesson 5 of 'The Silver Sword' series, the focus is on understanding the historical context of the novel set during World War Two. It is essential for students to grasp the period in which the story unfolds to fully appreciate the narrative and its characters. The lesson's objective is to encourage students to research the novel's historical setting to gain insights into the events and environment that the characters of 'The Silver Sword' would have experienced. This exploration into history aims to deepen the students' connection with the story and enhance their learning experience.
As part of the lesson, there is a specific emphasis on the historical setting of 'The Silver Sword', which takes place across Germany, Poland, and other European locations affected by World War Two. Students are assigned homework to investigate Poland under Nazi control, which is a crucial backdrop for the novel's events. However, teachers are advised to exercise caution when directing pupils to research topics related to Nazi Germany and World War Two due to the potential for encountering graphic and disturbing content online. To ensure a safe learning environment, the lesson plan recommends several vetted resources for students to use in their research, helping to provide them with reliable and age-appropriate information.
