Writing great Thesis Statements- Three Levels of
you have your
Thesis Statements Once
Evidence, it is time to
write your thesis
• There are three levels of thesis statements.
statement. It is actually
easier to do this once
Level one- restate the prompt as a statement.
you know what you are
Prompt: Was MacArthur a great leader?
going to say and what
you have evidence for.
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.
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.
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.
You may have the rest of this
period to work on this.

Operation Barbarossa:
Hitler’s Biggest Mistake
Operation Barbarossa:
June 22, 1941
 3,000,000 German soldiers.
 3,400 tanks.
The Russians Respond:
Russian Scorch Earth Policy
If we can’t 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.
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, --20°F. The
lowest Temperature recorded that
exceptionally cold winter was -63°F.
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.
Battle of Stalingrad:
Winter of 1942-1943
German Army
Russian Army
1,011,500 men
1,000,500 men
10,290 artillery guns
13,541 artillery guns
675 tanks
894 tanks
1,216 planes
1,115 planes
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.

this?
Japan’s
Expanding
Empire-
Only other
countries have
the resources
they need!
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!
Pearl Harbor from the Cockpit
of a Japanese Pilot
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 weren’t
any good at it.
President Roosevelt Signs the
US Declaration of War

Japanese so surprised
that the USA declared
war on them?

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.
Japan’s strategy called for simultaneous attacks on Malaya, Thailand, Americanheld 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
weren’t very
ready for such a
massive
undertaking.

Japanese Kamikaze Planes:

Kamikaze Pilots
Suicide Bombers
Japanese Moto:
Death before dishonor.
Death before surrender.
Death before defeat.
BSQ: What is the
connection between the
Kamikazi pilots,
Japan’s views on
surrender and Japan’s
access to resources?
Allied Counter-Offensive:
“Island-Hopping”
Take only the
lightly defended
islands and skip
the rest.
Japan still has
to spend
soldiers and
supplies on the
others.
Turning Point in the Pacific
Battle of Midway Island:
June 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?
Battle of Guadalcanal
August 7, 1942, and February 7, 1943
•Stopped the Japanese from getting
the resources of Australia
The US uses
“Island Hopping to
advance toward
Japan.
They need to get
close enough to
bomb Japan
directly.
US Marines on Mt. Surbachi,
Iwo Jima [Feb. 19, 1945]
Iwo Jima is striking
distance from Japan.
Americans can easily
fly bombing missions
to Japan’s 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.
