WWII Concept Maps
Task

Prior to starting work on the WWII Exhibit next week, as a group we must grasp the early 20th Century, the causes of conflict and some of the major events in WWII. With the big picture of some of the key events surrounding WWII, we can then go back and break up the topics to build our exhibit (with the bigger picture always in mind- we need to be able to keep things in context).

Schedule
Friday April 25th- Sunday April 27th
- Start by reading your section of the textbook or about your topic from other sources (library, internet, journals, etc).

- Do internet research/books to further your knowledge about your topic.
- Search for Primary Documents, speeches, video clips, music, art, etc…
