Causes of World War II (WWII) - Flipchart, CLOZE, 2 Activities, BINGO, & Quiz

Why spend hours creating a presentation, handouts, and assignments? This bundle provides all of that, plus more!

FLIPCHART PRESENTATION - The bundle contains a 43-slide presentation that explores the causes of WWII. This was designed for 6-7th grade, but I think it can appropriately be used in 4th through 10th depending on your standards. More specifically, the following concepts are discussed: the Treaty of Versailles, the Great Depression, the growth of the economy and population in Japan, the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party, appeasement, isolationism, nationalism, fascism, etc. Some of the slides contain information, nearly all contain images related to the vocabulary terms, there are several relevant video files mixed throughout, etc.

CLOZE READING ASSIGNMENT - The CLOZE reading passages reiterates key concepts. CLOZE Reading assignments reinforce critical concepts and vocabulary, build reading comprehension and stamina, develop context clues skills, and also expand their language and fluency skills.  CLOZE reads are especially helpful for struggling readers and ESOL students. Easily printed as handouts.

CROSSWORD AND GRAPHIC ORGANIZER - Investigating causal relationships is an extremely important skill for historians and students of history. This graphic organizer challenges students to investigate the causes that led to WWII. It also contains two answer keys - depending upon the level of your students and the depth of content your standards require. Easily printed as a handout.

BINGO - Eight printable BINGO cards are included as a fun way to review concepts and vocabulary. Bingo is a great way to review key concepts and vocabulary, boost student engagement, embrace a little competition, and review vocabulary!

QUIZ - a 15-question benchmark that reviews the key concepts in this standard. The answer key is included.
