Crash Course - WWII - The Homefront

As we complete our discussions and activities about the Homefront during WWII, add this little video clip to your collection of information. John Green (Crash Course) does a really nice job depicting different perspectives about WWII…

As you sit, watching the clip…. imagine what you would be doing during the war. Where would you be? What role would you play?
