Informational Writing and Historical Fiction Unit beginning on WW II

Recently we have been rev'ing up to begin a unit on World War 2, focusing on historical fiction of the 1940's in reading and informational writing about the 1940's in writing.  Yesterday we took some time to write down what we thought we know about various topics centered around the 1940's and World War 2.  Some included: The Home Front, The women's role in WW 2, Pearl Harbor, Infantry, the war in the Pacific, the Holocaust, etc.  Pictures were put onto tag board to rev up their minds and each student was able to leave little anecdotes about what they thought they new about each topic on the poster.  Soon we will research and read all we can (keeping in mind what is appropriate for 4th graders) on these topics to become experts.  After the unit is over we will go back and write what we actually know, and look to see if we had any misconceptions going into the unit.  Take a look at us in action!
