Through the lessons in this teaching pack students investigate the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. They engage with a range of primary and secondary historical sources, and then stage a mock criminal trial to decide whether or not President Truman was justified in ordering the bombings.
The pack also contains subject-specific lessons for Citizenship, English, History and RE, including exploring media reporting, and writing haiku.
