This 23-page resource with 20 primary sources plus three DBQ prompts gives students a chance to delve deeper into the challenges, obstacles and opportunities on the home front during World War II. The first two pages include Lesson Planning strategies, an Overview, notes on Primary Sources,and a list of Primary Sources.

Here’s a chance for students to read documents that shed light on how the war gave certain groups of people, like women and African-Americans, greater opportunities than they'd ever had before. At the same time, some people suffered greatly, such as the Japanese-Americans due to their internment in camps. All Americans needed to make sacrifices, however, in most areas. The primary sources show the extent to which war affected life in a variety of ways.

Assign just one, a few or all of the sources depending on time constraints and student interest.

Primary sources include interviews, photos, posters, newspaper articles, reports and other documents. Each page of primary sources includes questions at the end in order for students to analyze perspectives, consider key ideas and identify bias.

Included is a one-page sheet that explains what primary sources are and how to analyze them using specific questions through a process called HAPPY. There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source.

Three DBQ prompts are included at the end with instructions on how to create a response to the prompt. An Answer Key to all the questions and the DBQ prompts are available at the end of the packet.

This is excellent practice for all high school students, particularly Honors and AP students, but all students will find these resources engaging.

This is also available as a digital resource through Easel so students may complete it online.
