This annotated bibliography has been created for a middle school class studying the second world war. The books and other media were created to supplement the students understanding of history, and have been selecting from a range of different topics surround the war, including books about the United States home-front, the war in Europe, the Holocaust, and the war in Japan. The works cited will be included below, and then each following post will be an annotation for each item. This is part of a lesson in the library which includes discussion and journaling. Students will have to journal from the point of view of a character from one of the books (or a person they create themselves) to show their knowledge of the unit.
