This is a great opening activity to help bring awareness of the topics that led to the start of the War. It is engaging and kids enjoyed the activity.

Students enjoyed filling out this organizer as class notes, rather than copying from a PowerPoint.

I love the process of jigsaw method of learning, but these readings were just a tad bit too high for my students to comprehend. I love the complexity of the passages though, as they truly do challenge my students who truly need to be pushed to the next level – just struggled a bit this past year. Looking forward to trying again next year! I appreciate the creativity in this resource!
