Battle In the Trenches
We're going to pretend that we are doing a newscast from the front on the day of the Armistice. Each country will introduce itself, (act the part a little) tell the name of their leader during WWII, show their flag and/or map of their country. Each country is given a folder to submit research material. When all interviews are over at each turns in material along with individual bibliographies. When a question is asked that the country doesn't know another country may respond and win the shot. Students take notes to be turned in for part of their total grade.
