The Blitz: London Under Attack | GCSE History Source Investigation Pack
The Blitz: London Under Attack GCSE History Source Investigation Pack Bring the history of the Blitz to life with this 17-page source investigation pack. Students explore how the bombing affected London and its people, using a map, a timeline, evidence activities and structured questions to build their historical understanding.
The investigation covers why London was a target, how the city prepared for air raids, where people sought shelter, evacuation, damage to homes and daily life, and how Londoners and the government responded.
Students compare sources, organise the consequences of the Blitz and support their conclusions with evidence. The pack also includes GCSE-style practice questions, a model source answer and a teacher guide with suggested answers and source notes.
The sources are clearly identified as reconstructed practice sources, rather than original historical quotations. This makes the activities useful for practising source analysis while helping students distinguish between historical evidence and classroom-created material.
Suitable for GCSE History revision, classroom teaching or a focused lesson on the Blitz and the civilian experience of the Second World War.
