The II World War – The development of the conflict.

Warm up activity

What do you know about the Second World War?

Part 1: Following the orders of the teacher separate into groups of 11, and thinking about whay you've learnt before

or about what you've seen on TV, Cinema or read in books, try to find the answer to the following questions

collaborating with your partners.

Each group have to select three questions and answer them. You have to hurry up, debate with your colleagues

which questions do you want, and the first group that have the hability to agree, will choose the first three questions.

The remaining ones will be for the other group. The questions are the following ones:

 

-What is the Second World War?

-Why and how did it start?

-Which countries were involved in the conflict?

-Which political ideas were involved?

-Where and when did it happen? (Battles, evolution)

-When did the II World War ended?

 

You all have 10 minutes to think about the questions and write down an answer without

looking at the book and making questions, only with your previous knowledge.

 

Part 2: Video 1, Dunkirk, the movie of Christopher Nolan is an historical representation

of one of the battles that happened during the II World War. While looking at the trailer

try to think what happened and which countries where involved. You can write down

what kind of people do you see and what are they doing (soldiers, nurses...), what

kind of vehicles, armament appear... and try to understand what is happening.

 

Main Activity

 

After writting down the things you see, the teacher will divide you into

3 groups, two groups of 7 and one groups of 8, mixing the initial two groups.

Using the information you've seen in the video, the class book, the books brought by the

professor, surfing the internet on  the class computer (each group will have 5 minutes controlled

by the professor... you'll have to answer two of the questions initially made. Each group will be assigned

with a number and you'll answer the questions as follows:

 

-What is the Second World War? (Group 1)

-Why and how did it start? (Group 1)

-Which countries were involved in the conflict? (Group 2)

-Which political ideas were involved? (Group 2)

-Where and when did it happen? (Battles, evolution) (Group 3)

-When did the II World War ended? (Group 3)

 

You all have 25 minutes to look up for information and answer the questions

using the resources told before. You can also look up for vocabulary you don't 

understand and write it down on the vocabulary section of the notebook. 

 

Closure Activity

After answering the questions correctly, you'll have to choose a representative

member of your group and present your answers in front of the class, you'll

have 5 minutes to do it, controlled by the teacher, who will correct you and

explain the things you'll didn't understand or told correctly. Try to make things

simple, summarize and develop your ideas so the rest of the class understands

the conflict, since each question is an important part of the historical evolution

of the Second World War, so, be responsible. 

 

During the presentation, the rest of the class will write down the answer

to the question and the corrections made by the teacher so it will be

very important for the assesment quiz you'll make later. 

 

Lesson Assessment

You'll have to answer the Quizz 1 using the information in the questions and the

corrections made by the teacher. You'll have to deliver your work the next day 

of class so it will be a part of your final note.
