Students loved working on this activity. I did this on a day where half of the students were gone on a fieldtrip. We worked together as a class and made a game out of who could find the answer first...dang these kids type fast because they beat me every time!

I loved everything about this! My school IT Department did not. Some of the links were blocked on my kid's Chromebooks. Not any fault what so ever of this activity; my school's IT Department is irritating! Will use again and again until I retire! Thank you so much!

Great resource, just know you may need to check that some sources are not blocked by school's firewalls because they are wiki pages. Students enjoyed looking for links and cracking the code.

I've done an actual breakout room so I may have a little better understanding of the concept than someone who hasn't, but this resource is straightforward and should be engaging and educational for my high school kids.

Allows the student to explore the different aspects of Pearl Harbor. It was a good resource because students have to really find the information instead of it just being in plain sight.

It looks like an activity that has great potential but I found it confusing and not very easy to figure out....I know some of the links showed up weird too.

Some of the hyper links didn't work. I struggled to get started because some of the items in the directions did not show up on my computer.
Reply from Frenchified
If you let me know which ones, I will check them out. Sometimes it is a matter of district blocking them, but sometimes links change without warning. In that case, I can find a new link and update.

The URL on the Battleship Row Google Sheet does not lead to a PDF. It goes here: https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/path-pearl-harbor which does not provide the needed information.
Reply from Frenchified
Sorry about that, it looks like they rewrote some of their web pages and changed the link. I have updated the link to a different site that does have the information.

Some of the links do not work.
Reply from Frenchified
If you can let me know which ones aren't working for you, I can take a look and update them. I try to keep them updated but sometimes they change and sometimes it's a matter of school software blocking sites. Update: The broken links have been replaced with new ones that work. They should all work for you now.

Unfortunately, one of the links didn't work. It was 'page not found'. and they struggled to find info on another one. We were able to problem solve and simply google the answers but it did cause the students to have a minor freak out :-)
Reply from Frenchified
Sorry to hear that...can you please tell me which link it was? I will replace it with an updated link so that it will work in the future. Thanks!

This was a lot of fun! The students really liked the challenge of it. My honors students did a lot better at it than my regular students. They had a harder time grasping the concept which was really good for them. It forced them to think instead of having the answers easily accessible in front of them.

- Nobody ever notices the French teacher to give them awards for anything! My students, my family and my mom like me - is that enough? Oh, and my beer league hockey team won the championship several years ago.
