This secondary school resource will take students through the strategic and later nuclear bombings of Japan.
Students will gain a quick overview of the strategic bombing campaign over Japan. They will then watch 20ish minutes of WW2 in colour that details the nuclear attacks.
The main task is teacher led whereby you go through the key details of the two nuclear attacks. 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.
