3. Complete the note-taking guide (Attachment D, pp. 1-3) using your textbook (McGraw-Hill United States History & Geography pp. 266-275) 

4. 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 note-taking 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?
