random groups of five. Students are asked to list five independent causes of both World

Wars, and then 5 shared causes. This can be answered with the minimum of bullet points.

There is a creative response question where students are instructed to elaborate on one

thing they found interesting, (minimum of three sentences)

○ At the end of this students will share their interesting facts and collaborate with

each other.

● Students will then work in groups to complete individual timelines about the set up of

WW2. There will be four different templates offered:

 ○ Many timeline notes, no written response

○ Less timeline notes, Creative writing response about how WW2 could have been

prevented

○ Less timeline notes, Fact checking writing response, naming five major players of

WW2.

○ Blank sheet, creative timeline, no written response, minimum of 10 timeline

points.
