'FANTASTIC.... I'm off to enthuse to my colleagues'
Tim Laver, Bishopbriggs High School

This CD-ROM is a captivating exploration of life in Scotland during the Second World War, featuring the experiences of nine Scots who lived through it and contributed in various ways. Ask an evacuee about his experience of the Clydebank Blitz or a member of the Women's Land Army about life on a farm, and hear from others about rationing, gas masks, the 'total war', POWs, VE Day and much more. The pupils can choose from a large range of questions which will trigger video clips of our interviewees telling their fascinating stories.

Meeting your Requirements

The content is based on local authority topic grids for teaching The Home Front, and in developing the title we have taken into account the comments and advice received from teachers on our previous products to ensure that the product meets teachers' requirements as closely as possible.

Invaluable New Feature: Teachers' Support Disc

In addition to the useful spiral-bound Teachers' Support Pack, a Teachers' Support Disc is included with The Home Front: Scotland in World War II. This disc contains all of the separate text, image, sound and video files used in the CD-ROM and is, we are told, an invaluable extra as it allows teachers to create their own lesson plans.

(All CD-ROMs work on both Windows PC and Apple MacOS 9 and above)
