Building Background Knowledge: “War in the Pacific,” Part 2


Description

This is the second of two lessons in which students build background knowledge about the Pacific Theater in World War II by reading an excerpt from the article “War in the Pacific.” In this lesson, students analyze the actions of the United States and Japan to understand why there was conflict between the two countries. This historical context is important for students to understand as they continue reading Unbroken.
