Women in the US Military during WWII: PPT Presentation with Easel Activity
By Christa Nonnemaker
Perfect for Veteran's Day!
This 12 slide presentation about women in the United States military in World War II presents a broad and deep look at the nature of the four years between the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the end of World War II. The slides use engaging visuals including photographs and posters to convey the experiences on the home front. These visuals are primary sources that the instructor can use to further student understanding beyond textbook reading. This slide presentation is equally valuable for the home-schooled student or for those instructors who want to provide supplemental information to their students. At the end of the presentation, there is a slide that provides annotations on the websites used to access the primary sources which are featured throughout the presentation. This presentation will deepen student understanding about an experience that shaped a nation.
A digital assessment in Easel is provided for teachers to measure student understanding, retention and analysis of the material.
If you would like the PowerPoint version of this presentation, you may contact me after purchase at the email provided on the last slide or at christa@historyprisms.com.

LET'S CONNECT:
World War II Unit - DBQs & Primary Sources, PPT Lessons, Reading Worksheets
By Christa Nonnemaker
Lots and lots of resources! 25% off price you'd pay if purchased separately!
These resources include DBQ and Primary Source Sets, Guided Reading Assignments and Power Point Lessons on the following topics:
* Home Front
* Japanese-American Internment
* Women in the U.S. Military
* Victory Gardens
DBQ and Primary Source Sets
DBQ and Primary Source sets include primary sources with questions, DBQ prompts and Answer Keys. Students have a chance to develop understanding of context, perspective, purpose, audience and context. DBQ prompts prepare them for integration of sources into essay responses. These are excellent ways for students to develop historical thinking skills. APUSH students can benefit from DBQ practice. A Bonus File on "How to Integrate Sources in a DBQ" is included.
Guided Reading Assignments
Guided Reading Assignments are 1-3 page overviews of these topics which provide more detail than textbooks might provide or can replace textbook reading. A Worksheet at the end of the Reading Assignment will help students to process the information.
Power Point Lesson
The Power Point Lessons allow teachers to discuss key developments and significant aspects of the era with students. Alternatively, students can review independently. Slides include photos, images and Reflection Questions.
If you like World War II historical fiction (with some romance!), my book, Hearts at War, highlights the secret and unsung contributions of the Nisei soldiers in the Pacific theater who served as translators and interrogators. Young Adult/Adult/Interracial Romance. Available on Amazon.
Thank you and I appreciate any TeachShare or Amazon reviews!
