Assignment #1

Resource Fair

A resource is any one of the following tools that we as Historical Inquirers can use in
order to further explore what happened in the past. World War 2 included many countries with
different reasons and perspectives on why or what they were fighting for.

Students must research 1 of the following resources and present it to a small group of
people. Each presentation will be 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, the group of students will rotate
and go to the next station.

● 5 partnerships will present each day = 30 mins with breaks and moving tables
● Every person that is presenting that day presents for 5 minutes to each group of people.
● Therefore, presenting 4 times - the exact same presentation. This allows you to practice
and become an expert at your resource.
** Students will use handouts/ visuals to enhance the resource

Resources:​ Choose one and write down in the google doc what you would like to present on
