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.

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).
