Midway, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa

SUHUPU…Internal Summary Directions: 1. Stand up, push your chair in and raise your hand. 2. On my command, find another student (not your best friend) with their hand raised. 3. When you find your partner, give them a high five, decide who will be partner “A” and who will be partner “B” and face me with voices off. 4. I will then post a question for you to answer. 5. On my command, partner A will tell partner B the answer to the question. 6. After 30 seconds, Partner B will then sum up Partner A’s answer. (“What I heard you say was…” 7. The process will then repeat for Partner B to give partner A the answer to a new question. 8. When we have all finished, direct your attention to me, and we will have you share your ideas. 9. Are there any questions?

The Question There are 20,000-30,000 Islands in the South Pacific Ocean. By the WWII Pacific Theater campaign, Japan nearly had full control of the South Pacific (attacked at same time as Pearl Harbor…i.e.: Wake Island, Guam, Phillippines, etc...) How would you go about taking over control of these Islands? What is a strategy you would implement if you were the commanding officer knowing your ultimate goal would be to get to Japan’s mainland to end the war?
