First Topic of 2009

Week 5 & 6: Life after WWII

The 4 classes will be learning about life in Singapore after WWII, through slides, videos and readings.

This topic is a bridge that links what you have learnt last year to what you will be learning this year because it is a continuation from WWII and the Japanese Occupation. You will be learning about the post-war situation; the problems, the administration and the attitudes of the people.

Suggested Reading:

1. Interacting With Our World: Singapore Under Foreign Rule 5A – Chapter 5: Life After The War (Pages 62 to 76)

It will be important for you to be able to differentiate between the problems faced by the people during the war and the problems faced by the people after the war. Do not mix them up as they had different causes, effects and solutions.
