Notebook Pg. 27A Writing great Thesis
Statements- Three Levels of Thesis Statements
Once you have your Evidence, it is time to write
your thesis statement. It is actually easier to
do this once you know what you are going to say
and what you have evidence for.

• There are three levels of thesis statements.
• Level one- restate the prompt as a statement.
• Prompt Was MacArthur a great leader?
• Level 1 MacArthur was a great leader.
• Level two- restate the prompt as a statement but
  include the word because and say why.
• Level 2 MacArthur was a great leader because
  he was intelligent, independent and a winner.
• Level 2 thesis statements are so useful because
  the three things you include after your because
  as the answer to your why become the three body
  sections of our essay or outline. This kind of
  thesis gives you a clear road map for where the
  essay and your reasoning are going.

15
Ultimate Thesis of Ultimate Destiny

• Level three- rephrase the prompt in a new way and
  include your own philosophy when you address the
  why aspect of your answer.
• Level 3 Greatness in leadership comes from
  serving ones own people and improving their
  lives. MacArthur used his intelligence, his
  ability to think independently and his drive to
  be a winner to get the American people through
  their darkest hours during WWII.

16
What makes a Thesis a Level Three Thesis?

• Level three- rephrase the prompt in a new way and
  include your own philosophy when you address the
  why aspect of your answer.
• Many of you asked how you know you have included
  your own philosophy, in order to get a Level 3
  thesis statement and I was not able to articulate
  it, but after school I asked the head of the
  English Department and this is what she said
• Level three thesis statements include three
  pieces of evidence to prove the thesis statement,
  just like a typical Level 2. However, in a level
  3 thesis, there is a deeper, underlining (below
  the surface) connection between the three pieces
  of evidence.

Operation BarbarossaHitlers Biggest Mistake
22
Operation Barbarossa June 22, 1941

• 3,000,000 German soldiers.
• 3,400 tanks.

23
The Russians Respond Russian Scorch Earth
Policy
If we cant have it. No one will..
They burn the grain in the fields, poison the
wells, tear down the houses, kill the farm
animals. There will be nothing left for Hitler
to use.
24
ASQ What one Russian resource stopped Genghis
Kahn and Napoleon both?
The Deadly Russian Winter Only Russians Can
Survive
Minimum temperatures for the Moscow area in late
1941 December, --20F. The lowest Temperature
recorded that exceptionally cold winter was
-63F.
Still, Russians are Bitter. Stalin fought alone
against Hitler in Europe from 1941 1944.
Russia loses more soldiers and civilians holding
the line than any other nation.
25
Battle of StalingradWinter of 1942-1943
26
German losses at Stalingrad were staggering. The
Sixth Army, under the command of Field Marshal
Friedrich Paulus, began its campaign with 600,000
soldiers. On Jan. 31, 1943, Paulus disobeyed
Hitler and surrendered. On February 2 the last of
his remaining 91,000 troops turned themselves
over to the Soviets. The Soviets recovered
250,000 German and Romanian corpses in and around
Stalingrad and total Axis losses (Germans,
Romanians, Italians, and Hungarians) are
estimated to have been 800,000 dead. Of those
taken captive, only 6,000 lived to return to
their homeland. Official Russian military
historians estimate that 1,100,000 Soviet
soldiers lost their lives in the campaign to
defend the city, all this in a span of six
months.
27
The North African Campaign

• Fought in North Africa
• Axis Powers led by Erwin Rommel
• Allies led by Bernard Montgomery
• Both groups trying to seize oil in the Middle
  East and access to Italy (the back door of Europe)

Remember this?
Japans Expanding Empire- Only other countries
have the resources they need!
31
Pearl Harbor Attacked - Dec. 7, 1941

• Japan wanted the natural resources like tin,
  iron and gasoline that the Americans had stopped
  selling them when the USA found out about what
  was happening in China.
• Japan saw American neutrality as a sign of
  weakness.
• They believed America would give up right away
  if attacked brutally enough.

A date which will live in infamy!

USS Arizona, Pearl Harbor
The only American ships to survive the attack
untouched were looking for the Japanese in the
Pacific Ocean. Japan had reason to think the
Americans could be intimidated into staying out
of the War. Americans were not known for their
great military prowess. Most people thought they
chose not to fight because they werent any good
at it.

Japan had already captured large sections of
China and South Asia before WWII started but
Japan needed the resources of the Dutch East
Indies and geographic access of the American
controlled Philippines. Japans strategy called
for simultaneous attacks on Malaya, Thailand,
American-held Guam and Wake, Hong Kong,
Singapore, the Philippines, and Hawaii.
When the USA joined WWII, the areas in red were
under the control of American enemies, the Axis
Powers. Americans werent very ready for such a
massive undertaking.

surrender. Death before defeat.

Allied Counter-OffensiveIsland-Hopping
Test Question Alert!
Take only the lightly defended islands and skip
the rest. Japan still has to spend soldiers and
supplies on the others.
44
Turning Point in the Pacific
Battle of Midway IslandJune 4-6, 1942

• The Battle of Midway was fought over and near the
  tiny U.S. mid-Pacific base at Midway atoll
  (island). (June 1942)?
• After Midway, the two opposing fleets were
  essentially equals, and the United States soon
  took the offensive.
• With the battle of Midway, the US stops the
  Japanese expansion. From here the Japanese lose
  territory until the end of the war.

What strategic advantage is there to stopping the
Japanese at Midway?
45
Battle of GuadalcanalAugust 7, 1942, and
February 7, 1943

• Stopped the Japanese from getting the resources
  of Australia

46
The US uses Island Hopping to advance toward
Japan. They need to get close enough to bomb
Japan directly.
47
US Marines on Mt. Surbachi,Iwo Jima Feb. 19,
1945
Iwo Jima is striking distance from Japan.
Americans can easily fly bombing missions to
Japans civilian centers from here.
ASQ What advantage would attacking Japanese
civilians give the Americans? Think
strategically and emotionally.

Coffee House Chat

• You and your partner are two soldiers from WWII
  having a cup of coffee in the afterlife at a café
  in heaven.
• As you sip your latte, tell your partner about
  some of the battles of WWII that you know about.
  Be as specific as possible. Talk especially
  about the battle you are doing for the project.
• Talk about your battles as if you were one of the
  soldiers who fought in them. Try to impress your
  partner with all the dangerous things you have
  lived through! Whatever your partner says, try
  to beat it with an even more dangerous (but
  accurate!) battle experience.
