Marines who used their own language to create a secret military code

helped the United States send fast and safe messages across the
Pacific. Students learn how the code began, how it worked, where it
was used, and how the code talkers were honored many years later.
The worksheet builds reading, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills
through an article and a range of activities.

statements), Comprehension Questions (6), Multiple Choice (15),

__________Teacher Note: __________
This topic connects history, language, and culture, and it shows how a
community language became a powerful tool. Ask students to read the
article first and then discuss why the code talkers story stayed secret
for so long. The True/False section works well as a partner debate
because several statements are designed to be tricky.
