unit approach
In looking at the story of World War II, one way of exploring the events is through specific battles. While many battles will not be studied, it is my intent the list compiled give us the opportunity to follow the progression of Axis expansion, how the Allies begin to change the dynamics of the war, and ultimately ending the domination of fascism over Europe.
This will be accomplished through research of these battles, informing each other about what you found, expanding what is of interest to you within each battle, and culminating in a student-created game with the design of informing others of the battles and ultimately the story of WWII.
(We will also not be spending much time in looking at the Pacific Theater as it will be looked at with time and depth in your junior year.)
