Activity 1:

• Begin class by posing the question “During the first half of the war, which side would you say was dominate? Provide 2-3 examples/events that support your choice.”

Briefly review student answers as a class

• Transition students into the day’s activity by building on the examples and events brought up during the class discussion from the starter question.

Activity 2:

• Display the slide with the key events on the Smartboard/projector.

• Explain to students that they will be creating a concept map of some of the early events that allowed Hitler to be so dominate early in the war.

  Students need to create a popple for the event and a summary in the student’s own words.

  They also need to show connections between different events (ex: Blitzkrieg and Invasion of Poland)

  Popplet allows the creator to connect different popples by dragging a line between the two popples.

• Once students know the basics of the assignment, they should navigate to Popplet.com and create a free account if they do not already have one.

  Depending on student familiarity with the website, a brief tutorial of the site and its tools may be necessary at this time

Practice Activities:

• Students will complete their concept map and share or print with the instructor.
