Lesson 2 - The Blitz

Activity |
How can I do this? |
Complete the reading comprehension about the Blitz |
Find the reading comprehension sheet below. Read and answer the questions. Read careful and check your answers. |
Sketch a scene showing the aftermath of the Blitz. |
Use the pictures in the 'History Activities' document below (scroll to the bottom of the document) to inspire your sketch. Think about what the streets, buildings and people might look like. |
Recreate being in the Blitz by making an area of your home as dark as possible. |
Find a small area of your home and see if you can make it as dark as possible just like in an Air Raid. Think about the resources you have already in your home. Can you use sheets, turn off lights or maybe cardboard to make your area dark? Remember there weren’t any electrical devices like televisions, iPad, mobile phones or electrical gaming platforms in WW2. How long can you last in your area without any of those gadgets? |
Create a job advert for an Air raid warden (or similar job). |
Think about the new jobs that were created because of the Blitz. Air Raid Wardens, Ambulance drivers and Fire Fighters are just a few. Can you create a job advert to attract people to a role? What qualities do they need to have? You might have to do some extra research for this! |
Lesson 1 - The causes of WW2
In this lesson you will learn about the causes of WW2 and you will know when it took place.
Download the PowerPoint and ensure you understand each slide before moving on.
I would like you to produce a poster which explains the different factors that led to the start of WW2 - I have posted an example for you but of course please be as creative as you want to.
You must include the following:
When did WW2 start and end?
Who were some of the world leaders involved and what part did they play at the beginning? In particular, who was the Prime Minister of the UK at the start of WW2?
What were some of the ideas that different world leaders had?
