questions like, What was this time in US history like? and

do research on refugee children around 1939 and do a presentation.
Their presentation will be them acting as a refugee child and explaining
to the class their difficulties and how life was like of them and how hard
 it was for them to get into America. Each student will pick a refugee child
from a different country, so that no one of them as the same child or
country. This presentation should be no longer than 5-10 minutes.

Closure: Analyze and explain how political, social and economic factors influenced American
involvement in World War I.

Diverse learners: Sit down with them one-on-one and explain to them what is going on and to answer
any questions they might have. Explain in more detail how to do the projects.
