We will begin our WWII unit this week. We will explore many aspects of the war from life at home to the major battles being fought in Europe and the Pacific. Students will have a chapter note-taking packet to work on every week. We will have weekly quizzes, movies, group assignments, and writing activities. We will have a compare/contrast activity dealing with the landing on Omaha Beach. More details to come regarding this.
This week we get our basic foundation built with information leading up to the conflict. We have a modified schedule Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, because of Literacy Week activities.
