During the
Second World War the British government was
constantly monitoring the success of its various policies concerning
the Home Front. The government was also
aware of the possibility that it might be necessary to introduce
legislation to deal with any emerging problems.
It is December
1941. You have been asked to write a report on Barrage
Balloons. This
is to be divided into two sections.
(1)
A report on what has been happening concerning Barrage
Ballons since the outbreak of the war.
Things you
should consider include:
(a) What
were barrage balloons?
(b) How
did barrage balloons work?
(2)
A report that includes proposals about the changes that you would
like to see in government policy. These proposals will then be discussed
and voted on by the rest of the class.
Things you
should consider include:
(a) Do barrage
balloons provide enough protection to the people of Britain?
(b) Should
the government spend more money on barrage balloons?
(c) Should
barrage balloons be used differently to the way they are being used
at the moment?
