Background Acquisition
I will ask students to tell me what they know about the leaders of both the allies and axis powers. I expect students should know about FDR because we went over many of his speeches and his famous 7 December speech.
-Who were the ally leaders during WWII and what countries did they control?
-Who were the axis leaders during WWII and what countries did they control?
-Who were the ally leaders during WWII and what countries did they control?
-Who were the axis leaders during WWII and what countries did they control?
Anticipatory Activity
VIDEO: “America is a Democracy”- Students will watch a video explaining the idea of democracy. We will then discuss why a nation who favors democracy would align itself with one who favors communism (the enemy of my enemy is my friend).
Lesson/PowerPoint
Lesson Closure
I will lead the class in an open discussion to assess any misconceptions and answer any questions students may have.
S.N., ELs, Struggling Readers
I will make my notes available to all students as well as the KWL chart. Using the index cards will help assess acquisition of the material.
