Students utilize library and Internet research skills, and participate in cooperative learning groups in a variety of cross-curricula lessons including: designing power points, spreadsheets, journals, posters, maps, on-line word search & criss-cross puzzles, and scavenger hunts. These activities engage student’ interest and understanding of the historical, social, economic, and political impact on the United States and globally, as a result of the Pearl Harbor attack by Japan. The students’ projects will enrich, develop understanding, increase implementation of technological strategies, and improve student achievement.
Introduction
December 7, 2041
The 100th Anniversary
of the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor
It is December 7, 2041, the 100th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, a day that continues to live in infamy.
In remembrance of this, the International Committee on Peace Preservation (ICPP) established in 2020, will use time travel machines invented in 2039 by Julie Verne-Sky-Walker, the great-great-great-great granddaughter of Jules Verne and Luke Sky-Walker to explore events surrounding Pearl Harbor.
The ICPP is sending a team of historical archivists, teachers, and students to investigate the events that led up to the attack, the attack itself, its aftermath, and the social and economic effects on the traditional American family.
After completing your time travel journey, you and your team will report back to the ICPP with your summative findings and attempt to reach a consensus on how future generations can learn from past events.
