Bundle: Women in the U.S. Military during WWII-- Guided Rdg, PPT Lesson, DBQ's

By Christa Nonnemaker

Great resource for Veteran's Day!

Women in the U.S. Military during World War II:

* Primary Source Analysis and DBQ's

* Power Point Lesson

* Reading Assignment and Worksheet plus Bonus Page (Guided Reading)

Primary Source Analysis and DBQ's

This 27 page Primary Source Analysis and DBQ activity gives students a chance to delve deeper into the experience of women who joined the military in the United States during World War II. There are 20 primary sources and 2 DBQ prompts. After completing this resource, students will be able to determine what issues were important to society during this era and how women contributed to society. In addition, there are Document-Based Question prompts.

A Lesson Plan and other supplemental information is provided at the beginning of the resource. Students can read this on their own as a homework assignment or it can be a group activity in a classroom. It is also ideally suited for home-schoolers, college students or independent learners who want to learn more. Teachers can assign just a few sources to analyze or the entire packet. Student work time will vary dependent on the aforementioned factors.

Also included is a one-page sheet that explains what primary sources are and how to analyze them using specific questions through a process called HAPPY. Primary sources in the packet include text excerpts, photographs and posters. Each page of primary sources includes questions. There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source. DBQ prompts are also provided. An Answer Key to all the questions, the HAPPY primary source analysis process, and the DBQ’s is available at the end of the packet.

A separate PowerPoint presentation on How to Integrate Sources for a DBQ is included in the Zip file. There is also a YouTube video that provides narration for the slides. The link is included in the packet.

There is also an Easel Activity which allows students to answer the questions at the end of each primary source online. For homework purposes, Home Schoolers or for asynchronous learning, this is an especially valuable digital option .

Power Point Presentation

This 12 slide presentation about women in the United States military in World War II presents a broad and deep look at the nature of the four years between the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the end of World War II. The slides use engaging visuals including photographs and posters to convey the experiences on the home front. These visuals are primary sources that the instructor can use to further student understanding beyond textbook reading. This slide presentation is equally valuable for the home-schooled student or for those instructors who want to provide supplemental information to their students. At the end of the presentation, there is a slide that provides annotations on the websites used to access the primary sources which are featured throughout the presentation. This presentation will deepen student understanding about an experience that shaped a nation.

A digital assessment in Easel is provided for teachers to measure student understanding, retention and analysis of the material.

If you would like the PowerPoint version of this presentation, you may contact me after purchase at the email provided on the last slide or at christa@historyprims.com.

Reading Assignment

This short four-page close reading and worksheet activity provides an overview of how women participated in the military during World War II. It covers nurses and the women who supported the other branches of the military: the Women Army Corps (WAC), the WAVES (Navy), SPARS (Coast Guard), Marines and WASPs. Students can read this on their own as a homework assignment or it can be a group activity in a classroom. It is also ideally suited for home-schoolers or independent learners who want to learn more. A Worksheet with questions based on the reading is included, along with an Answer Key.

A Speech Bubble Bonus Activity page is also included! See the Preview to see the Bonus Activity.

Students will become more knowledge about the contributions of women during World War II and consider how and why there was resistance to their involvement in the military.

This is also available as a digital resource through Easel so students may complete it online.


If you like World War II historical fiction, I have written a book called Hearts of War about a Nisei soldier who served in the Military Intelligence Service and a woman who served in the Women Army Corps. In writing this book, I wanted to bring an unknown aspect of history to light. Available on Amazon or Kindle and I appreciate any reviews!

The Great Gatsby Escape Room

By Language Arts Excellence

Get ready to have the most fun you'll have teaching with a lesson that your students will be talking about for years to come with F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby ESCAPE ROOM!

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to work together and think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! This meticulously-crafted resource features all of the materials you need to conduct a full-length Escape Room for The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Planning an escape room may seem like quite the daunting task, but this product provides everything from the basics and set-up instructions to signs and answer keys so that yours runs smoothly from start to finish. The activity involves movement, energy, creative thinking and most of all, collaboration. Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the higher order thinking skills they are applying in the playing of this game!

How does it work?

Instead of entering your classroom, your students have shown up to one of the extravagant parties at the Gatsby mansion. They are surrounded by people dancing, drinking, and acting as if they have not a care in the world. But then they notice a man that looks as if he does not fit in with the crowd. He dons overalls and his face is covered in grease…and he grips a revolver tightly with his right hand. Now your students must locate Gatsby within his mansion before this mechanic on a mission gets to him! The only way to escape is by solving 5 different skills-based puzzles, discovering a hidden message, and finding clues along the way.

  • Gatsby F.I.T.B.: In the first task, students must complete fill-in-the-blank sentences using vocabulary words from the novel. The vocabulary cards, once assembled correctly, will reveal the first code.
  • Guess Who: In the second task, students must match each character from The Great Gatsby with one of their notable quotes from the novel by drawing a line connecting them. Letters not intersected by these lines will form their second code word.
  • Plot it Out: In the third task, students must order the major plot points of The Great Gatsby on Freytag's Pyramid. When ordered correctly, letters in the shaded boxes on the chart form their third code.
  • Criss-Cross: In the fourth task, students must complete a crossword puzzle about major plot points, characters, setting, and quotes from the novel. Circled letters within the crossword, once unscrambled, reveal their fourth code.
  • Missing Word: In the final task, students must assemble a jig saw puzzle that forms a notable quote from the novel with one missing word. Once the puzzle is assembled and students figure out the missing word, they may escape the room and save Gatsby!

Product Includes:

- Escape Room Basics

- Detailed Day-Of Instructions

- Escape Room Print & Classroom Preparation Checklist

- Student Teams Chart

- Materials for 5 Tasks: task signs to be folded upright, task instructions (2 per page for easy printing), and necessary information to be kept at stations

- Student Answer Sheet

- Teacher Answer Keys

- Escape Room Reflection for homework or in-class writing activity

- Theme Reflection for homework assignment or in-class writing activity

This escape room is an ideal way to end your unit on The Great Gatsby and a great way to review for the final test.

Analyzing Primary Sources

This 21-page Primary Source Analysis activity gives students a chance to delve deeper into life of colonial women prior to the French and Indian War which began in 1763. They will be able to determine what issues were important to women and how they contributed to society. Included is a one-page sheet that explains what primary sources are and how to analyze them using specific questions through a process called HAPPY. Primary sources include pamphlet excerpts, photographs and posters. Each page of primary sources includes questions. There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source. There are also two DBQ questions. An Answer Key to all the questions and the HAPPY process is available at the end of the packet. This is excellent practice for all high school students, particularly Honors and AP students, but all students will find these resources engaging.

Students can read this on their own as a homework assignment or it can be a group activity in a classroom. It is also ideally suited for home-schoolers or independent learners who want to learn more. Teachers can assign just a few sources to analyze or the entire packet. Student time will vary. A Worksheet with questions based on the reading is included, along with an Answer Key.

This is part of the Women in American History Series which includes PowerPoint lessons as well as Reading Assignments and Worksheets, Analyzing Primary Sources, Activities and Teaching Bundles for other eras.

ALAIN LOCKE'S "THE NEW NEGRO" [LESSON ACTIVITIES]

By Richard B Williams

This Alain Locke "The New Negro" product [Suggested Uses, Posters, Discussion Questions, exams/quizzes, Assignments, and more] provides students a chance to experience what happens when we educate and fight for the betterment of everyone. This ESSAY allows students to read and analyze this canonized work about fighting for one's rights. 9th - 12th Graders will love this short work and product. Check it out!

SUMMARY:

During the time of the Harlem Renaissance, Locke produced "The New Negro” to specify that the new era of time was the “new negro” and the era that passed was the “old negro”. During this time when Blacks were reinventing themselves and societal views of them, Locke explains how the New Negro came to be and also they started to fit in more with the present society in America.

This 11th - 12th grade canonized work allows students to understand the need for change and standing up for equality and what you believe is right.
