World War 2 Curriculum Unit

Description

World War 2 Unit

This item is a comprehensive CURRICULAR UNIT (GOOGLE version included!) about World War II that integrates reading and literacy. There are 7 complete lessons included in this bundle PLUS supplemental activities. Audios of the reading passages, quizzes, unit test, & modified test are included. This is perfect for students with read aloud accommodations. This unit includes 5-8 weeks of materials, depending on if you choose to assign some of the activities as homework. This resource can also be easily used for distance/digital learning because all components (except the simulation) are available in a digital format.

THIS UNIT CAN BE USED AS A STAND ALONE CURRICULUM. This can be used as homeschool curriculum, too.

This unit offers a savings of over 40% versus buying the resources individually.

The 7 lessons included in this World War 2 Unit bundle are:

♦Causes of WWII
♦Major European Battles of WWII
♦Major Pacific Battles of WWII
♦Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party
♦The Holocaust
♦The Manhattan Project
♦Aftermath of WWII

If you have purchased any of the above NO Prep lessons, you have the above lessons, but you do NOT have the supplemental activities (listed below):

Limited on copies or paper? Every component of this lesson is ready-to-go on GOOGLE, so you can easily assign to your students! The quizzes and unit test are also available on GOOGLE Forms, and I include explicit directions on how to assign and tweak (if desired) for your students. The quizzes and unit test are also self-grading!

This World War 2 Unit includes:

• 7 PowerPoint presentations that can be used to facilitate discussion or have students take notes
• 7 slotted notes pages so students can focus on recording the important information from the PowerPoint presentations (which includes carefully curated videos & links that will enrich the lessons) Editable slotted notes included!
• 7 informational reading passages about WWII (There are TWO versions of the reading passage included. One is the “paper saver” version for when you have to limit your copies. The other is the “note-taking” version that has enough space for annotating and taking notes. This version also includes bolded headers for the different sections!)
• 28 activities (4 per lesson) (key terms, dates & events, significant items, significant people, political cartoon, geographical connection, and a literacy connection) Three of the four activities PER lesson have two levels: a basic recall and an application of knowledge.
• 7 quizzes

PLUS THE FOLLOWING SUPPLEMENTAL ACTIVITIES:
• 7 graphic organizers (Google version)
• 14 interactive notebook foldables (Google version)
• 7 primary source analysis (Google version)
• 80 vocabulary cards (Google version)
• 6 stations (Google version)
• simulation (Code Talkers)

Specific reading skills in this unit are: series of events, cause-effect relationships, central idea, key details, summarization, cite text evidence, integrate multiple sources of information, author’s purpose & text structure, & meaning of words/phrases using context clues.

You will be easily integrating reading with your social studies content because the 7 graphic organizers focus on one specific reading skill per organizer, AND students will be analyzing primary documents.
