Short Answer
What was the Blitz during World War II? How might the Blitz have had an impact on individuals on the British home front?
Teaching Suggestion: Ada—now living with Susan in the country—continues to wrestle with complications that arise from World War II. Rationing, blackouts, and volunteer work are just some of the struggles Ada and her family face daily. Once students have a chance to brainstorm on this topic based on previous learning from social studies class and other prior knowledge, consider discussing the Blitz in Britain as a group and allow students to analyze the extent that it impacted the lives of the individuals who lived there. These and similar resources might be useful in taking an in-depth look at the Blitz and the British home front.
