World War II Powerpoints
  • Your job is to make a powerpoint presentation about a particular aspect of WW II.
  • You will work in groups and have 2 class periods to complete your powerpoint.
  • The powerpoints should be about 4-6 slides long. They should include an image or two, but written content is the most important part of this assignment.
  • You do not have to have any fancy moving words or images in your powerpoint.
  • The text should be brief, direct and to-the-point; not long winded paragraphs.

The topics are as follows:
  • Group 1: The start of the war - Nazi Blitzkrieg and the invasion of Poland and France
  • Group 2:  Evacuation at Dunkirk - Nazi's seem invincibal
  • Group 3: The Battle of Britain - dark days for democracy
  • Group 4: The Battle of Stalingrad - Russia hangs tough
  • Group 5: Pearl Harbor - US enters war
  • Group 6: The Battle of Midway - The US and Japan fight for the Pacific
  • Group 7: D-Day (The Invasion of Normandy) and the eventual fall of Berlin
  • Group 8: The Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
