A lesson that explores the development of aerial warfare throughout the 20th century. Initially you will go through a brief history of flight and warfare, some key terms and a few videos to show them what they will be looking at in the lesson. The main activity involves there being a number of A3 information sheets spread around the room, students will use the table sheet to collect information. To finalise they will summarise the development of aerial warfare into a paragraph.

A lesson looking at how the Blitz affected the London Borough of Havering. This resource is aimed at secondary school students.

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 secondary school resource will take students through the successful Japanese conquest through the Pacific. Students will learn some context surrounding the Japanese empire and her emperor. They will then watch this early part of the Pacific campaign unfold in a 22 min section of World War II in colour to get an in depth and entertaining overview of events (they will have questions to answer whilst doing so). The main task is teacher led whereby you go through the key details of the Pearl Harbour attack, Malayan campaign and Philippines campaign. This will be done using dual coding whereby students create a mind map using text and imagery. This lesson will complete the first of three branches on the mind map, with the subsequent two lessons completing it. They will finish by explaining two similarities of the German and Japanese conquests at the beginning of the Second World War. This is the first lesson in a 3 lesson series focusing on the war in the Pacific. ATTENTION - You will need access to Netflix or World War 2 in colour to make full use of this resource.

This secondary school resource will take students through the reversal of Japanese fortunes with the huge carrier battles and successful Allied island hoping campaign. Students will watch the carrier action unfold in a 19 min section of World War II in colour to get an in depth and entertaining overview of events (they will have questions to answer whilst doing so). The main task is teacher led whereby you go through the key details of two carrier battles. This is a continuation of the previous lesson (adding to their mindmap). You may then choose to show another segment of the island hopping campaign from WW2 in colour before completing those strands of the mindmap. This lesson will complete the second of three branches on the mind map, with the subsequent lesson seeing it through to completion. They will finish by describing two key features of the war in the Pacific. This is the first lesson in a 3 lesson series focusing on the war in the Pacific. ATTENTION - You will need access to Netflix or World War 2 in colour to make full use of this resource.

Students will create a fact file on the consequences of Nuclear Weapons. They may do this in the best way they seem fit. This will focus on: The effects on Hiroshima and Nagasaki Cold War and M.A.D. Nuclear Testing Nuclear weapons today Student will then watch a video showing a simulation of a nuclear blast on a major city. Lastly students will examine two sources and complete a how useful are source A and B enquiry question. How useful are sources A and B for an enquiry into the devastation caused by the nuclear bombing of Japan? Homework - 1. Use your fact file and research further facts about the destructive power of modern thermonuclear weapons and the consequences of there use. I have provided you with a sheet detailing the likely affects of a thermonuclear war ( you may use some of these points in your argument). Write a letter to the UN Secretary General explaining why Nuclear Weapons must never be allowed to be used again. This letter must be at least 2 paragraphs long and include specific factual detail (for example the devastation a modern weapon would cause if used).

This lesson is aimed primarily at secondary level students. Students will learn about Hitlers actions before the start of Second World War and evaluate his and the Allied powers culpability to the outbreak of hostilities. This is the first in a series of lesson on the Second World War.
