 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * Welcome to U.S. history! In this unit we will be covering World War II and the impact that it had on the rest of history. The goal of this unit is to help students to analyze major events, themes, people, turning points, and consequences or the war and the impact they had on the United States and the world. By the end of the unit, the students will understand that the initial U.S. involvement in the war was slow to happen. They will also understand that the Holocaust was not the only example of mass murder seen during the war. Finally, the end of the unit will show how the United States went from being a middle of the pack country to being a superpower by the end of the war. Students will reach these goals by creating and presenting a series of products that range from making powerpoint presentations, to making their own movies, to making comics depicting real life individuals. Students will also understand and be able to apply key vocabulary, important events, and people, and also understand the general timeline of the war. ||
