"Trench Warfare", "No Man's Land" these may seem like boring vocabulary words to most students, but they'll mean something more to your students as they face the daunting task of trying to brake the stalemate on the Western Front. Students will problem solve and strategize as to how to break through each others lines. In the end, they'll realize that the Western Front punished the side on the offensive. Sending waves of men into blistering machine gun fire was pure insanity.

The World War 2 Simulation and Lesson Plan, now with a web-based online platform, is designed to stimulate a high school or middle school student’s interest in this historic event. Like all Mr. Harms’s programs, it’s designed by a teacher for teachers. Hundreds of teachers already use this program every year to actively engage students in a way that text books and videos can’t. Each student takes on roles and in the process can change events while learning about the character or country they represent. They are responsible for learning things on their own, while also actively participating in small group activities.
The “magic” involved in this World War 2 Lesson Plan is that students become emotionally involved with their countries. Students become competitive about achieving their objectives. This World War 2 Simulation is a collection of Microsoft Word and Excel Documents. The documents are organized in binders or in a computer lab/1:1 set-up electronically for students and used in combination with the War Map on your projector to bring World War Two to life in your classroom!
