1. Duck and Cover video:
Watch the [|Duck and Cover video] at the top of this link.

Open the APPARTS chart below and fill it out for the Duck and Cover video. You may need to watch the video more than once. Type your name at the top and save as a word document. Then click back to the historytravelers page and move to part 2.

2. Bomb shelter supplies:
Open the APPARTS chart that you just filled out in a separate word document window. Then read the CCQIP column. You are about to answer the prompt, "If I were to pack supplies for my bomb shelter in 1950, I would bring..." To get an idea of the types of items people in the 1950s packed in their bomb shelter, view the [|images] on this page. Click on the photos to enlarge the items. There are three pages of items so be sure to view images on all pages. 

Pack your own supplies:
Open a word document and: 1)Type a list of items you would pack in preparation for an atomic attack in the 1950s and rank them in order of **most** to **least** important 2) Which items do you think you would still pack today? 3) What new items do you think would be necessary for survival? Then, click on the "discussion" link above. Type "bomb shelter supplies_YOUR LAST NAME" into the subject line. Then cut and paste your packing supplies document into the message area.

View other students' responses and reply appropriately if you wish or revise your APPARTS chart list to include new items you may wish to pack. Then as a group make a list of the top10 things you (as a group) would pack today if a bomb shelter could save you. Write your 10 items on the board at front. As a class we will evaluate which group would most likely last the longest in their bomb shelter.
