2. Finding out more about the history of the Christmas Truce (15mins)
Tell your students that during the next part of the lesson they are going to watch another video which is closely connected to the story of the Christmas Truce.
While watching the video for the first time, your students should do Ex.2- worksheet. They watch the short film and put the correct order of these situations:
1. Soldiers are sitting in the trenches.
2. A man is disclosing the details his grandfather had written in the diary.
3. Both armies are getting out of the trenches to exchange greetings.
4. A WW1 writer and researcher is deliberating on the troops killed during the event
5. Soldiers are playing football.
Students watch the video again and do exercise 3- worksheet. The task of next activity is to watch the video and define whether the sentences are True (T) or False (F).
Here are the sentences and correct answers:

1. We learn about the events happening in the 'no man's land' through various interviews. F - we learn

about the events through letters and diaries
2. British soldiers put up Christmas trees. F – German soldiers put up the trees, whereas British troops
cheered when they saw the trees.
3. German soldiers were the first who started singing Christmas Carol. T
4. The enemy greeted all the troops who got out of their trenches. F- some of the soldiers were killed
5. According to Alan Cleaver, we can't really be 100% sure if these events took place. F- we can't be sure about the football matches, but apart from that it's quite obvious the Christmas Truce occurred.
