  • Fighting the War
    Published on NCpedia (https://www.ncpedia.org) Home > ANCHOR > The Great Depression and World War II (1929 and 1945) > Fighting the War Fighting the War [1] Share it now! U.S. involvement in World War II lasted for nearly four years, and more Americans died than in any war except the Civil War — though even those numbers paled in comparison to the carnage other nations endured. For six months after Pearl Harbor, Japanese forces took island after island in the Pacific, and Americans feared an invasion of the West Coast of the United States. In the summer of 1942 the tide of the war in the Pacific began to turn, and for three years, Allied forces fought their way through the Pacific to the shores of Japan. In Europe, the Soviet Union desperately fought the Germans in the east, while American and British troops fought their way through North Africa, invaded Italy, and finally opened a second front in France in 1944. In this chapter you’ll follow the progress of the war from 1942 to 1945. Documentary film, radio broadcasts, contemporary magazine articles, battle maps, and oral histories will help you explore some of the war’s major events.

  • WORLD WAR II Grades: 3Rd – 8Th Scope and Sequence
    Time Travelers Activity Based History Study: WORLD WAR II Grades: 3rd – 8th Scope and Sequence World War II offers an in depth, hands-on view of the events leading up to, during, and after the Second World War. Students investigate the rise of Hitler and other dictators throughout the world, the forming of the Axis powers and their initial conquests, the rallying of the Allied powers to fight back and the eventual victory of the Allies, as well as life on the home front, how the American people supported their troops, and many of the important people who played a part in the war. The unit is designed to teach students through kinesthetic means, utilizing the senses and motor skills. Where younger students may need more guidance and assistance with the projects, older students should be able to handle the majority of the unit independently. Each lesson contains text and a generous amount of projects providing flexibility of choice to fit each range of grade levels. This is done with the understanding that not all of the projects are required to be completed, a factor that varies with each situation and is also heavily influenced by the age of the students. One lesson also does not necessarily constitute one day — although many can be done in a day, projects chosen will determine the length of each lesson. There is also an additional resource list of books, videos, and audio to add to the study if desired. Key: - Italics indicates title and topics within the text of each lesson - Asterisk indicates a project - Parentheses contains number of the lesson it can be found in I.
