World War II was a pivotal event in American History. Specific events changed the U.S. and its people; as a result of this war, the U.S. would never be the same again.
Original Post: (Due Thursday night) Below are factors that made World War II a turning point in U.S. history.
Think carefully and describe which two (2) events listed below permanently changed the U.S. in a significant way, describing specifically how something changed and why it was significant for the U.S. Make your case!
Make your case! Use details and evidence from your TEXT AND 4 or more VIDEOS.
Be sure to give an abbreviated citation to give yourself credit for using both book and video, something like this. (p. 235) or (Pearl H) (Home Front) or (Internment)
YOU CAN ADD: a family story – someone who was in this war – was there a story from your family that connects with what you learned?
Replies: (Due Friday night) Reply to TWO students, stating
WHY you agree with examples from a student’s post,
OR HOW you think one or more of your own examples compare to another student’s evidence.
OR You can also reply to someone who replied to you – create an exchange.
The best discussions make connections between different posts and ideas.
(Note: you can “like” someone’s original post even if you do not reply to it. You can “like” the post you reply to. Who will get the most “likes”? And what will they get?)
CHOOSE FROM THESE Pivotal, Turning-Point, events:
-The role of women or minorities due to their contributions and experiences in this war and with some part of the government.
-The events that led to the US entering the war forever changed the U.S. and its place in the world
-The United States’ involvement in the war – and the ways in which it ended – forever changed the U.S. and its place in the world
-The disconnect between being “a nation of immigrants” as the Statue of Liberty implied, yet having created internment camps into which Japanese and Japanese Americans were forced, and their land and possessions taken from them.
