Geography & Government Types: Hitler's Olympics of 1936 Propaganda (PowerPoint)

By Geography & Math Made Easy

Hitler used the 1936 Olympics for government propaganda purposes.

The PowerPoint uses posters created by the Germand and focuses on how propaganda techniques were implemented such as using symbols hidden within the images.

Following World War I, Germany was in economic, political, and physical ruins. In 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor and began his quiet quest against anyone who was not Arian. In 1931, Germany was given the option of hosting the 1936 Olympics. Hilter, under his Nazi German totalitarian dictatorship government system, wasn't sure it was a good idea until he was convinced that they could build the largest stadium to be seen at the Olympics and make Germany look as if it was not in ruin. He agreed. The 1936 Olympics were different from the Olympics in the past. It incorporated theatre, high-tech equipment for the games, and wonderful production with a lot of rituals that would continue into the Olympic games after Hitler's Olympics.

Hitler kept the secret of his war against the Jews throughout the two weeks of the Olympics using propaganda to show the world how well Germany was doing; the world, however, had no idea what was in store for Germany and the Jews who lived within its borders.

Geography: The Forgotten Pan American Highway of the Americas

By Geography & Math Made Easy

Most Americans don’t even know the Pan-American Highway exists.

The lesson begins with a short introductory PowerPoint presentation that gains students' interest in the highway. Students will work together in cooperative groups or individually to learn about the longest highway in the Western Hemisphere, that has ultimately been forgotten. They will trace the route through an interactive reading activity. Students will then work together to plan a road trip along the highway along the Pan American Highway, stopping at 14 different destinations along the route.

Starting in Alaska and stretching to Argentina, this is the Western Hemisphere’s longest highway. (Relative Location) Studying the Pan-American Highway in geography is essential for understanding the interconnectedness of the North and South American continents.

The Pan-American Highway spans over 19,000 miles. It is the longest road in the world. By examining the highway’s route, geographers gain insight into diverse landscapes, climates, and cultures. (Place: Physical Characteristics) This helps us appreciate the geographical features that shape the regions it traverses. It also reveals how human activities have influenced the environment. (Human-Environment Interaction)

Moreover, the Pan-American Highway plays a crucial role in facilitating trade and commerce between countries in the Americas. (Movement of goods and services) It serves as a major transportation artery, connecting economies and promoting economic growth in the region. Studying the highway provides valuable insights into the patterns of trade and migration within the Americas. (Movement of people and ideas) It also uncovers the challenges and opportunities from its construction and maintenance. Understanding the highway’s significance in globalization and regional integration helps geographers. This is an amazing route to study running through North America, Central America, and South America.

☑ For secondary — middle school and high school students

☑ Check out the preview to see what is included.

INCLUDES:

🟢 Teacher-Detailed Instructions 🟢 The Forgotten Pan-American Highway Introductory PowerPoint 🟢 The Forgotten Pan-American Highway Reading Activity 🟢 Pan-American Map to use alongside the reading activity 🟢 Student Research Guide to help guide them in their research at each destination along the Pan-American Highway. 🟢 Most Interesting Facts Activity Sheet 🟢 Exit Cards
