Flip
Book “American Story of World War II” : Working in pairs, students will design
a flip book featuring each year of WWII (1939-1945), that includes two events
from each year with photos, illustrations and maps. One event will address the war directly; the
other will address the American home front.
Each event in the flip book must have an original paragraph describing
the event and its importance to the war effort (no cutting and pasting). The final page of the flip book will include
your references/works cited.
