Bombing of Darwin 1942 – Year 10 History Teacher Pack (AC9HH10K04)

A ready-to-teach Year 10 pack to go with our video on the Bombing of Darwin, 19 February 1942. Watch it free on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MVnRtoRBvh8

Students stop the video at five chapter title cards and take on a role for each thinking task. They investigate why the town was hit so hard, how people reacted, why the death toll is still disputed and how much Australians were told, whose stories (including civilians, women and First Nations people) have been left out, and how the attack should be remembered.
