Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
- Locate 14 World War II terms in a multi-directional word search grid
- Define key World War II terms such as Allies, Axis powers, Nazi, Pearl Harbor, League of Nations and Soviet Union
- Use a World War II term correctly in an original example sentence tied to the war
Teaching tips
- The teacher file is a superset of the student file - print the student version for the class and keep the teacher version for marking, since the solution grid sits inside it.
- The definitions task explicitly tells students to look definitions up by any means, so this works as a research or homework task rather than a closed-book recall task.
- The .docx versions are editable, so the word bank can be trimmed for students who need a shorter list.
Skills covered
- historical vocabulary
