$5 - $10 11th Grade U.S. History PowerPoint Presentations (by date, oldest first)

Every year there's that ONE holiday toy that captures the hearts of kids and sends parents off to the store to grab the last one. This mini unit covers the history of Christmas toys through four decades (some of which you will remember!). The unit is divided into three parts and relies heavily on student research. The parts can be done at your own pace over the course of a week or over several weeks.

Part One

-Includes two reading passages, one about the history of holiday gift giving and one about the rise of the toy industry.

-Research Project: Students are given four worksheets, one for each of the decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s), and they must research toy trends for each decade

Part Two

-All of part two is in the included PowerPoint. This covers holiday advertising, starting with the early days of ads, through the department store catalog, and into modern television commercials.

-There are three links to toy commercials from the 70s, 80s, and 90s to watch with students

Part Three

-In part three, students will conduct an interview with an older friend or family member about their own holiday toy memories

-Final Project: Students pick one of three final projects to complete. Each project relates back to a different part of the unit.

This unit is geared towards a classroom, but is easily adapted to a homeschooler...in fact, I originally created it for mine! Every research activity is done solo and the PowerPoint can easily be used just for one or a handful of kiddos. This is also easily adaptable, in case you want to change anything for your students, but is no-prep, ready to go, as it is!

This Unit Resource Teaching Bundle contains the following resources:
* Women during World War II: Primary Sources and DBQ's
* Women during World War II: Reading Assignment and Worksheet
* Women during World War II: Power Point Lesson

Topics in these resources including the following:
- Women Workers

- Nurses during World War I

- Women in the Military

- Japanese-American Women

- African-American Women

- Life on the Home Front

- Victory Gardens and Rationing

- Women Volunteers
- End of War Issues

Primary Source Analysis and DBQ's

The 27-page Primary Source and DBQ resource with 44 primary sources, 35 comprehension questions and 3 DBQ prompts gives students a chance to look in depth at women's experiences and contributions during World War II. The first two pages include Background, Notes on Primary Sources and Teacher Notes.

Here’s a chance for students to read documents and look at images that shed light on issues facing women and facing the country during World War II. These include photographs, speeches, newspaper articles, posters, letters, pamphlets and memoirs. As this was "total war", women were needed in all sorts of capacities in the workforce, the military and on the home front. African-American women also found opportunities, despite ongoing discrimination and segregation. Japanese-American women faced great challenges due to internment in camps, although a few were able to avoid that circumstance.

Assign just one, a few or all of the sources depending on time constraints and student interest. This can be completed in one or two class periods.

Each page of primary sources includes comprehension questions at the end in order for students to analyze perspectives, consider key ideas and identify bias.

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 (Historical Context, Audience, Purpose, Point of View and Why Significant). There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to the sources.

Three DBQ prompts are included at the end with instructions on how to create a response to the prompt.

An Answer Key to all the comprehension questions and the DBQ prompts are 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.

Please note that this NOT an editable file.

A bonus file is also included: How to Integrate Sources into DBQ's.

*Revolutionary Women: Reading Assignment and Worksheet

*Revolutionary Women: Primary Source Analysis and DBQs

Power Point Lesson

This 13-slide PowerPoint presentation covers the Revolutionary Era between 1763 and 1783. The Pre-Revolutionary Era lasted from 1763 through 1776 and the Revolutionary War lasted from 1776 to 1783.

Each slide contains information and graphics that highlight how women contributed during this period. Unlike during the Colonial Era, women began to take part politically, albeit in the form of writing or in choosing to boycott British goods. Nonetheless, it was a shift in women's roles in which women did not have a voice. This period challenged Americans to ask themselves what they sought in their new country. Not surprisingly, some women and African-Americans questioned whether they too should have equality in society. This question was not satisfactorily answered as a result of the war, but it did at least offer a platform wherein some people could pose the questions.

The Power Point presentation is available as a PDF and as a PPT file, included as a bonus file.

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 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!
