The Doolittle Raid Primary Source and Image Analysis

Students will read and analyze an account of the Doolittle Raid from World War 2 (WWII, WW2) as one of America's responses to Pearl Harbor by answering 16 questions, analyzing 3 propaganda posters, working with 2 political cartoons (prompts provided), and completing up to 4 extension tasks.

This would be great for a sub and the answers are included where appropriate.  

Sample questions include:
--Identify the core purpose, and most unique part, of the Doolittle Raid.
--Since the planes landed in China and the Soviet Union, how were some airmen executed by Japan?
--Why might there have been differences in the memo to Arnold compared to how the raid played out?
--Explain the relevance of the wind in Lawson’s second paragraph.
--What purpose did the blinking red lights serve?  
--Explain why more than one political cartoon was made with the same message in mind.
