Assignment: Hitler’s Campaign in Western Europe
1. After watching the videos and reviewing the powerpoint above you now have some knowledge of the early years of WWII in Europe. Your task is to show me what you have learned by highlighting and discussing the major aspects of the early years of WWII in Europe. You will do this by creating some form of digital presentation on the important information.
You have creative freedom on which digital format you will use (google presentation, a digital timeline or outline/poster would be great for this). Here are some resources you could use:
- https://www.visme.co/timeline-maker/
- https://spark.adobe.com/make/timeline-maker/
- https://time.graphics/
- https://venngage.com/features/timeline-infographics
- https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/examples/timeline-maker
You should cover a minimum of 8 separate major topics in your presentation. Topics you should consider covering are as follows:
Germany’s aggressive actions (territorial gains), political policies, treaties, allied responses, conflicts/battles, military tactics/strategy, etc. (hint: notice highlighted terms in the powerpoint above & major topics of the videos).
*Highlight each of the main topics, then give some BRIEF related information on each topic. Be sure to make this visually attractive by adding related visuals…images, photos, pictures, maps, etc. MAPS showing locations of important events would be very beneficial. There should 1 visual for each topic minimum.
This will be kept in digital format and the link to your assignment will be turned in on Summit. It should be titled Hitler’s Campaign in Western Europe.
