What can audio-visual materials reveal about the 1960s?
By Hannah Collis
Target age range: A-level
This resource comprises a selection of guided watching/listening worksheets for several audio-visual materials contemporary to the 1960s. Each resource includes a link to the audio-visual material, allowing students to watch or listen to this. This is followed by a sequence of guided tasks for students to work through in order to analyse the content of the material and make bigger claims about the role of audio-visual materials in the 1960s. The guided watching/listening worksheets can be used in class or as an independent task for students to complete for homework. There is scope to use these as one-off resources or as a wider enquiry into the power and importance of audio-visual materials during this period. These resources are intended for use with A-level students; however, they could be accessible to students in younger year groups.
Content note: Please do review the content of the audio-visual resources before distributing to students, as some contain extreme views and language contemporary to the period that may be unsuitable for younger audiences.
This enquiry was written by Hannah Collis, Head of History at Trinity School, Sevenoaks.
