Passchendaele
Created by
Modern Foreign Languages Resource Pack
This pack has been published to commemorate the centenary of the Battle of Passchendaele which took place between July and November 1917 in Belgium. It enables teachers to explore the First World War in their classrooms whilst also developing modern language skills in their classroom through a series of creative, memorable and engaging activities. The pack is part of Passchendaele at Home – a nationwide research-and- remember project inviting schools and community groups across the UK to discover servicemen buried or commemorated in the UK who were wounded at the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917. Activities are focused on English, French and German – the three main languages used during the Battle of Passchendaele. This pack is produced by Big Ideas Company in partnership with the British Council, funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government.Topics
