Teacher Resources for the Video:

    Discussion Questions:

  • Why do students think his commanding officer had told the soldiers they could not marry while serving in France?
    Activity Ideas:

  • View some of the other WWII videos, by using a keyword search for WWII. Compare the experience Mr. Baker relates with others of troops fighting on the land, sea and air. Do students think his experience is very different and, if so, why?
  • Have students learn more about the liberation of France through their own research and then share their learning in a format of your/their choice.
