GOALS
• Our goal is to create a more clear account
of World War II, as well as, a time line of
the events that occurred.
• Also, we wish to help you (the students)
relate to the time period in a more
concrete matter.
OBJECTIVES
• Students will be able to construct the first
page of a ten-page booklet by creating a
concept map, which focuses on their
understandings of the assigned readings on
the World War II Unit with 70 percent
accuracy.
• After listening to a World War II Veteran
Speaker, students will be able to generate
the second page of their ten-page booklet
by writing a one-page reflection paper
pertaining to the veteran’s recollections, as
well as, their own thoughts and perceptions
of life at this time with 90 percent
accuracy.
ADDITIONAL OBJECTIVE
• With 100 percent accuracy, students
will identify the most accurate
answer on the short answer
worksheet pertaining to their
assigned readings and the time-line on
the World War II Unit.

some key elements to their concept maps.
After finishing their maps, ask students to help
you construct a “key” on the board generated
from their concept maps they produced.
METHODS/STRATEGIES

ENRICHMENT
• In order to have students reflect on
their experiences for the day, we

the Veteran Speaker such as “How
would your life be different if there
was another World War and you had
to serve in it?”
