 * Sam’s Hotlist**

1) Why Did Japan Attack Pearl Harbor: This link grants students access to live footage of the bombings at Pearl Harbor. It also had other links within itself to eye witness accounts. Students have unlimited access to primary and secondary sources.

[]

2) History Channel, WWII: This website allows students to sort through different articles, videos, and facts about WWII. It has different themes connected to WWII that the students can click on for more details.

[]

3) The National D-Day Memorial Website: This website is the official website for the D-Day memorial. On here students can look at pictures of the actual memorial. At the top there is a history tap that provides a scroll down option of all the information you would need on the invasion of Normandy.

[]

4) Hiroshima and Nagasaki: This website provides access to a podcast about the dropping of the atomic bombs. To give students a break from daily readings, podcasts allow students to relax while they listen to the material.

[]

5) Atomic Bombs: This is a link to a DBQ about whether or not the United States should have dropped the bomb. In my lesson plan I do not go into great detail about the negatives of the atomic bomb. Inside are documents showing the opposite viewpoint of what I gave during my lecture.

6) The Pacific and Adjacent Theaters in WWII: This website is a great one because it has several pictures from Pearl Harbor. Students could then take these photos and by using some Web 2.0 tools like Flickr they can put together a colleague of the destruction caused by the attack on Pearl Harbor.
