Description
Students experience the events of World War II as it unfolds in chronological order. Each module covers 2 years of the war, beginning in 1938 when tensions between nations were mounting.
The information is presented using videos (no excessive or upsetting graphic war violence), interactive websites, simulations, short articles, and games.
At the end of each module, students complete a project related to the events occurring in those years of the war.
Each module is designed to be completed in one week, but students can adapt the lessons to their schedules. Prizes will be awarded to the students with the best projects.
Grades: 4-8

This course is really fun! Makes it easy to learn about WWII. Two complaints, though. One, the http://www.worldology.com/Europe/world_war_2_lg.htm links in the Timeline sections don’t work (Error 404 page not found). And the L.A. Times slideshow of the Japanese surrender leads to the L.A. Times main page. Great course, even with these link problems.

Will get right on those and fix them! Thanks

My son (9) and daughter (8) both enjoyed this course. It took us a bit to figure out the online format, but once they were up and running, it was relatively easy for them to use. We used this as our family’s monthly challenge project (completed challenge by end of month=prize of some sort) and both kids were consistently asking to work on it. My son then requested that I do another similar history challenge project because he so enjoyed this unit study. Independent, enjoyable learning = huge win for mom!
