On March 1, U.S. reconnaissance planes spotted 16 Japanese ships en route to Lae and Salamaua in New Guinea. The Japanese were attempting to keep from losing the island and their garrisons there by sending 7,000 reinforcements and aircraft fuel and supplies. U.S. and Australian land-based planes begin an offensive against a convoy of Japanese ships in the Bismarck Sea, in the western Pacific. We will discover the planning, preparation, attack and aftermath of this battle. The tools utilized will be PowerPoint, collaborative conversation, informal assessments, and historical videos. I love for my students to learn not only from myself but through the help of their fellow classmates. This is my goal to have collaborative conversations that make each student question, answer and gauge their own level of knowledge about the topic.

Parental Guidance
The total number of lives lost at this attack will be discussed. This topic will not be discussed in detail, but only referred to as facts. Very little time will be spent on these facts, as to ensure that the students know the statistics but do not go into great detail over these facts.
These two topics are very important to the historical event, but will be taught in an age appropriate manner. This is why the age level is 13-18 as to ensure they are aware of these sensitive facts. It is extremely important as to explain why the United States responded in the way that they did.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My degree is in History with an emphasis in American History. While studying in my undergrad I specifically took a course based on all eras of American History. I have successfully taught my own students in the physical classroom for the past two years over topics that will be discussed in this course!
My minor in my degree is also in Social Sciences. I have taken multiple courses in psychology, sociology and the study of people. This allows me to gauge when a student may need. If your student may need additional emotional, mental or physical assistance I am certified by my state to do so with my Special Education licensure. Reviews
