Students are curious about the human cost of war, and they are fascinated by the atrocities that men are capable of committing against men. Reading this nonfiction account of the bombing of Hiroshima will stretch student thinking in those areas and engage them in mature discourse. What was the cost in terms of suffering? What was the outcome? Was the cost justified? To develop research and critical thinking skills, students will conduct independent research in class on the bombing of Hiroshima. They will investigate whichever aspect of the event most interests them: the technology, weaponry, effects on the population, health and science, current state of survivors. The results of their research will form the basis for their argumentative presentation. Students will be expected to read Hiroshima at home, reflect on their, and produce a written response on the assigned reading. Students' reflections will be the basis for class discussion and a variety of critical thinking prompts for the responses will be provided.
