The+War+in+Europe-Create+a+Timeline


 * Please read and r** **eview the links below on World War II in Europe. Please takes notes so that you are prepared to create a timeline in the next class.**

**Reading:** [|World War II In Europe (1939-45) by Chris Butler]

**Video Resource:** [|Animated map of World War II with an emphasis on the Holocaust]



= **Your timeline: This can be done on paper or digitally. If done on paper you must photograph it for upload. Separate your timeline into regular sections.** =

**As you review your resources, consider our lesson on historiography.** **Choose a perspective or emphasis to focus your timeline on. You could make your timeline from the perspective of the axis powers, the allies or the Soviets. You could focus on events with an emphasis of the importance of economics, the development of technology, the impact of ideology, the dictates of "great men", the impact on the common soldier, or the lives of civilians.**

**Your timeline should:**
 * **include 10-15 key events of World War II**
 * **identify a historiographic focus**
 * **provide enough information to indicate what the event is/how it is important.**
 * **leave enough room so that you can add events from the war in the Pacific later**

**Because your resources are very detailed, you will need to decide what information is important for your timeline. You will also need to skim through your readings and decide what to focus on (this is a good skill to work on) Try to limit the events/information on your timeline to the most significant ones.**

**You will be graded on Criterion B Concepts and Criterion D Organization and Presentation**
