It introduces pupils to a selection of original sources including documents, photographs, sound and video footage, and importantly places these within their wider historical context. The material is organised along thematic lines. Here are some suggestions as to how topics within the Campaign! website might enhance the schemes of work within your school.

KEY STAGE 3

The Campaign! website meets with the requirements for two programmes of study: 'The Twentieth-Century World'; and 'The Study of One Historical Theme'. The use of the sources could encourage the development of all the Key Elements, whilst also offering opportunities to develop and apply both ICT and Curriculum Cymreig.

Areas of particular interest:

War and Peace:

• the First World War includes a recruitment poster; a photograph of men being recruited in Cardiff; correspondence between the novelist Kate Roberts and her brother highlighting the tensions within a Welsh family at War.
• the Second World War includes footage of evacuees arriving in Wales from Liverpool; and photographic material on the bombing of Swansea
