Online Extra Credit Assignment...
Please click here (if you have trouble, go to the WWII section of my website and click on the first address under "links and resources"). Select “Asia” as your campaign. You will be guided through an interactive timeline leading up to the U.S. entry into WWII. As you move through the timeline, jot down something you learned for each event (this can be a bullet point or a short sentence – I'm not looking for essays here :)). Make sure to scroll all the way down in each section in order to find the documents that go with some of the events. Although you do not have to read all of the documents linked in depth, they are worth checking out, so I'd like you to at least scan them. After reading each event, you will be prompted to “select a course of action.” The site will let you choose various courses of action until you have chosen the historically correct one, at which point it will explain what happened and why. At the end of the module please summarize the lead up to US entry into WWII in the Pacific in three sentences, including your reaction to it.
