Part2PearlHarborDayIdeasSSW

Pearl Harbor Day is the anniversary of the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941. Between this post and Part 1, I have you covered for Pearl Harbor Day and beyond. I shared about a bazillion book ideas in this Facebook Live broadcast and on Periscope. Want to check out about Part 1? Well, they aren’t sequential so after you finish this post you can check it out here: http://66.147.242.188/~thesodf8/pearl-harbor-day-resources/

But what there’s more!!!! Have you heard of the Jigsaw method? Well, it’s a student led-learning strategy that works especially well with gifted learners. I shared an idea on Periscope for breaking down a study of Pearl Harbor into a jigsaw. I offered modification suggestions for making it an independent assignment as well. If you want a detailed description for how I used the jigsaw strategy read this post: http://66.147.242.188/~thesodf8/using-the-jigsaw-method-as-test-review/

I added several bonuses to my WWII Jigsaw product which offered suggestions for just using Pearl Harbor as your topic and breaking it down into 5 sub-topics!
