The content area is history and our Coggle is about World War II. The learning goals of the lesson are for students to understand who the leader of each major nation of WWII was and what their involvement was like. The learning activity could be guided notes where we give students the concept map. We would blank out some of the information and have students fill in the missing words as we go through the lesson. The teacher role of this lesson would be to guide students through the notes. The learning assessment could be a formative quiz given the next day about the notes that were taken. As a class we would discuss which nations are part of the Allied Forces and which are part of the Axis Forces (Allied are on right, Axis on left).
