This secondary school resource will take students through the Battle of Britain and Second battle of El Alamein. These two battles were crucial in raising British morale in the early war period. Battle of Britain - Students will discuss how Hitler could invade the UK and what he would need to do to be able to successfully do so. They will but the events of the Battle of Britain in chronological order and decide which day was most significant to its outcome. Using WW2 in colour and an information sheet, students will list the strengths and weaknesses of the RAF and Luftwaffe. They will finish by writing a paragraph explaining the battles significance on the outcome of WW2. El Alamein - Students will discuss why North Africa became a battle ground of the Second World War, watch WW2 in colour, create a storyboard on the events leading up to the battle and finish by writing a paragraph on its significance. I’ve put this within one lesson however this will likely have to be taught over two (or edited as you see fit). This is the fourth lesson in a series focusing on the Second World War. ATTENTION - You will need access to Netflix or World War 2 in colour to make full use of this resource.

This is a continuation of the previous lesson (adding to their mindmap). This lesson will complete the third of three branches on the mind map. Teachers will then share a little about VJ day before having students complete an exam question (two inferences) based on a Hiroshima source. The effects of the nuclear attacks will be explored in the next lesson. ATTENTION - You will need access to Netflix or World War 2 in colour to make full use of this resource.
