Courage of Conscience WW1
Why did he get done for doing the right thing? I don't get it.
Y5 at Grassmoor Primary after discussing Henry Smith's story (conscientious objector from Belper).
Drama and History work like the Courage of Conscience work, gives all children a more level playing field from which to be able to write. They have all felt and experienced the same events. It gives them something to refer to internally. That's why your drama and history package will work in ANY context and will have successful outcomes.
