World War II Timelines

The 8th graders have spent the last few weeks learning about the progression of World War II. Today, students worked together to create "tension timelines" that tracked Hitler's movements in Europe and then discussed how America might react to each action. Later in the week, they will learn about Pearl Harbor and about what life was like on the Home Front after the country went to war. The students will read primary sources about how women and minority groups influenced the war and will discuss their roles during a Socratic Seminar.

Question for your 8th grader:

Do you think the United States could have prevented the outbreak of World War II?
