World War II and the Holocaust Mini-Project

Steps

  1. Figure out what you will focus on - see the right side of this page for possible topics.
  2. Create the map that you will do your project on.
    1. Yes, all projects will be done on a Google map. We're trying this out :)
    2. To do this, log in to Drive. Click New - More - Google My Maps.
  3. Title your map. Hint: what area of WWII and the Holocaust are you focusing on? Use that.
  4. Share your map with your group members (if you choose to work with any).
  5. Make your map viewable to anyone with the link.
  6. Start researching.
    1. Need some more context on what you might cover? These might help. Check out your textbook too. (*gasp*)
  7. Create a Google doc now to list all your sources on. Make it viewable to anyone with the link. Place this the bibliography on a pin on your map somewhere so we know where you got your information.
