Instructional Ideas

  • Assign specific countries or divisions for small groups to follow throughout the timeline
  • Have class members write letters from the perspective of Allied soldiers or Italian civilians about the events details in the timeline
  • Pair with a class viewing of Casablanca

Classroom Considerations

  • Each section of the timeline opens with a short video, which can slow down navigation at first
  • Level of military detail in the map may be overwhelming for some learners
  • This content requires Adobe Flash to view

Pros

  • Navigation is intuitive and quick
  • Provides primary source video and pictures

Cons

  • None
