Bell
Ringer: Stamp and review 11-3
Objectives:
1.
Students will describe the United States' response in the early years of World
War II (Neutrality Acts, Cash and Carry, Lend Lease Act)
2.
Students will explain the impact of World War II on domestic government policy.
Agenda:
1. Bell Ringer (10 min)2. Complete the note-taking guide (Attachment D, pp. 1-3) using your textbook (McGraw-Hill United States History & Geography pp. 266-275)
3. Decide which of the long-term causes of WWII in Europe was most responsible for causing the war (using chart on p. 2 of the notetaking guide). Hold a class vote to narrow down the causes to the top two. Have students participate in “mini-debates” to argue over the main cause. Instructions for conducting “mini-debates:”
o Divide the class into 3 groups – group A will argue on behalf of one cause; group B will argue on behalf of the other cause; and group C will be judges. Instruct groups A and B to work together to brainstorm a list of possible arguments they could use to win the debate. Have group C create a list of questions that they could use as judges to stimulate debate.
o Match one student from group A with one student from group B and one student from group C until everyone is paired up in a triad made up of a student from each of the three groups. Each of these triads will have their own mini debate, meaning that there will be 5-10 debates going on around the classroom at the same time.
o Finally, after 5-10 minutes of debate, ask each judge to share their verdict —Who won the debate? Why?
*Remind History Lab students to be on time tomorrow!
