During World War II, most Americans supported dropping the atomic bomb. Since that time, many people have come to question the ethics of using nuclear weapons. Such weapons, because of their great destructive power, killed civilians on an unprecedented scale. Yet, the non-nuclear German bombing of Britain and the Allied bombing of many German cities also killed thousands of citizens. Thinking about the past (1945) and the present (Post 9-11), do you believe using nuclear weapons is a viable option or should we refrain from using them? How does an atomic or nuclear bomb work? Draw or present an illustration of such bomb.

You will research and present a detailed power point lesson presentation about the battles of World War 1. You will choose the following battles: 1) Ypres 1915 2) The Somme 1916 3) Vimy 1917 or another approved battle. In total, you should have ten facts that will provide your classmates a better understanding of why World War I was fought and how it was fought, who was involved in the War, and what the effects of World War 1 were on Canada.
