War Is Over – David Almond

Description

This is a study guide for ‘War Is Over’ by David Almond. Included are invitations for two extended research projects and four creative activities. It forms an ideal accompaniment to a study unit on the First World War. Taking two important elements within the story, it explores the role of women in the workplace and the emergence of conscientious objectors

Books should be read for pleasure – that is the belief of The Curiosity Cupboard – and this study guide is intended to explore some of the key themes and ideas introduced by an author. The first step is therefore for your child (and you) to read the book and (hopefully) enjoy it!

This guide will take their learning further, looking at elements of the story in a fun and interactive way.

(Note: No materials are included, this guide works as a set of prompts that you may engage with at a level of detail that is appropriate to your child, their interests and the rhythms of your learning)
