Lesson Plan—World War II Pacific Theater Objectives: Understand the United States strategies in World War II in the Pacific Theater. Students will understand the island hopping methods used by the United States and why they were necessary. Anticipatory Set: Students will go through the virtual tour of the Pacific Island campaigns during World War II. This will be presented through Google Earth. Communication: Students will understand the island hopping methods used by the United States and why they were necessary. Input: I will illustrate the importance of the major battles of the Pacific Theater for the students. The tour will allow them to see pictures and geographic areas of all of the major islands. I think this will help them put into context why these places are significant in our history. Modeling: Show the students how I would take one of the battles and use Google Earth to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages that were present on the islands. Guided Practice: Allow students to choose one battle during the island hopping campaign and use Google Earth to find advantages and disadvantages. Independent Practice: Complete guided practice for homework. Write up a 1-2 page paper on the advantages and disadvantages for both the US and the Japanese that came from fighting on the island.
