Submission Required
Students rotate through primary-source photos, museum replica images, a map, survivor testimony excerpts, and a short WWII novel passage to gather evidence about the atomic bombings and leadership choices. In small groups, they sort observations into history, science, English, JROTC, and child-development lenses on a shared evidence chart, then write possible investigable questions. The class closes with a brief debrief on the two essential questions and the project products they will build in later phases.
