How much had really changed for women by the end of the 1960s?

This enquiry focuses on women in the 1960s and gets students to do some sophisticated thinking about change and continuity.

Your class are tasked with working out how convincing an interpretation is. They  categorise information that relates to employment opportunities, fashion, politics and finances. They develop a great overview understanding of the key moments in the 1960s feminist movement.

This enquiry allows them to consider the extent to which women’s lives changed in this period. Students will also delve  into some of the factors/reasons that accounted for both change and continuity.

Finally, they respond to the interpretation, using their new knowledge to explain how convincing the argument is.
