What teachers are saying about this World War II Unit:
❤️ “My students love the PowerPoint with videos embedded. It is clear that you have taken a great deal of time to develop fantastic resources. Thank you for making my lesson-planning load a little easier!”
❤️ “I have used this resource three years in a row, and what's more I have taught two different grade levels (one focused on US History and one on European) and have been able to adjust within what is provided in this unit. This resource is excellent and I will continue to use it! Challenging to students but they enjoy it, and easy for me to provide that rigor for them.”
❤️ “A true time-saver. I purchased this to help me teach a World War II elective. The quizzes are great and what is so awesome about this is you can edit anything you wish on here. For example, I added more details to the notes.”
❤️ “So easy to use, clearly done, excellent design, saved me hundreds of hours.
I usually like to do my own ppts/slides and I do modify these to suit my style. But that is far easier than creating everything for scratch. I love the slotted notes. I use them as a recall exercise after my presentation. Kids love it, it is broken down well, the answers are right in the ppt and the notes, and the recall aspect really helps them learn. Everything comes in 2 versions, google and regular, and that is great, too. A huge bargain. Thank you!’
❤️ “Great resource to have on hand for distance learning, regular classroom use, or a sub plan. Accurate and minimal prep.”
❤️ “Extremely clear and well put together. I am an English teacher teaching a War and Lit class, this bundle saved me a ton of time BBK so we can get to the Lit. If you're in a time crunch, it is easy to pick and choose what you use. The enclosed lesson plans also help organize and prioritize. THANK YOU!!!”
❤️ ”My son and I really enjoyed this WWII resource. It was full of information and the worksheets were great. It provides a great overview of what led to the war and the war itself. Great resource.”
❤️ “THIS RESOURCE IS A LIFE SAVER!!! I don't know what I would've done without it, can't wait for more complete units like this one!!”
❤️ “I purchased this Curriculum unit as my 8th-grade son, who is homeschooled this semester, wanted to learn more about WW II. This unit is very comprehensive, laid out in manageable sections, and has everything a public school teacher would need to add to their History curriculum on WW II. Thanks for all your efforts!”
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.
