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 Evacuation.
This is to be divided into two sections.
(1)
A report on what has been happening concerning evacuation
since the outbreak of the war.
Things you
should consider include:
(a) What
was the evacuation campaign?
(b) Why
did the government introduce the evacuation campaign?
(c) How
successful was the evacuation campaign?
(d) What
kind of problems did the government experience with the evacuation
campaign?
(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) Should
the government make the evacuation of children from urban districts
compulsory?
(b) Should
the government punish parents if their children returned home to
urban districts during the war?
