WWII: Discover Secret Missions & Spies (Ongoing)

Learners will be introduced to many historical topics that will be presented with a twist of facts and unusual tidbits that they will likely not read in traditional history book. Class discussions, lecture, participation, and journaling will be the main formats used in presenting material.  Students will be asked to keep a comparison chart of operations and fill out a character analysis sheet in the packet provided as a pdf.   

There will be a discussion and final writing on which operations the learner thinks was most dangerous, which operation they found most interesting and which operation would they have done differently.


Knowledge is like the wind…once you feel it...it can take you anywhere!

I adore learning fascinating, behind-the-scenes tidbits about anything.  I have been teaching standard American History curriculum for 20+ years, and I have found that finding fun twists to standard curriculum helps learners remember and relate to facts better.  This format helps my students build critical thinking skills, as well as gain knowledge about historical events.  By adding a new perspective to familiar topics, we can expand our thinking to include new possibilities!

55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
