This class will be presented in a game show format with learners answering questions presented.Class Experience
US Grade 4 - 7
In this class, each week learners will compete against each other answering questions about the World War 2 in Europe as well as the Africa campaign, and whoever answers the most questions correctly wins! Each week will cover a different period of the war and will go in semi chronological order. No prior knowledge of World War 2 is required. To make things fair before each class learners will receive a document that contains all the answers prior to class. They should study it before coming to class, and it is requested that they not have it nearby during class, but try to answer the questions on their own from memory. Students should come to class with 1 to 3 facts about the World War 2 not included in the document for extra points. Topics covered: Week 1: Pre War to Dunkirk Week 2: Battle of Britain to North Africa Week 3: Alamein Line to the Start of D-Day Week 4: D-Day to the Battle of the Bulge Week 5: Bridge at Remagen to the End of the War Sections will be closed approximately 6 to 12 hours in advance regardless of enrollment to ensure all learners have enough time to look over the materials. #academic

Teacher expertise and credentials
I'm a huge history buff. I love learning about history and doing research about different time periods. World War 2 is an important part of my family history. Several of my Great Uncles served in the US Army, (one fought with Patton) my Grandfather served in the US Navy, and both of my Grandparents on the other side lived in the Netherlands during the war and my Grandfather was part of the Dutch Underground. Growing up I heard them tell stories about the war and I always wanted to hear more. They all had fascinating stories to tell. (Ask me in class to tell you some!)Reviews
