World War II in Europe: The purpose of this site is to give a general overview of the events that happened in Europe during World War II. It gives specific dates of the events that happened such as the Invasion of Poland. The attended audience of this website is 10th grade Modern American History students. The available resources on this website are good, reliable sources that give information about this topic but also about other countries in World War II. My overall impression of this website was that it would be a good website to use for a project that involves World War 2 in Europe because it can give the dates of events and a little information about it. Overview: This article is about World War II in Europe and the dates of the events in Europe. The strengths of this website are that the dates are accurate and that they do a good job of listing all of the dates in the corresponding year and that it doesn't just give the important dates. The weaknesses of this website are that they do not give a description of the events. Content: The content was strong because the dates were accurate and because the list of events had both major and not as major events. The content was weak because it did not have a clear author, had little information about the event, and did not discuss the role of the event. Design: The design was strong because it was easy to navigate around the site; it was well organized and knew where you were at all times on the site. It was weak because it did not have a lot of pictures and they could have done a better job of drawing the readers in.

This website was meant to give a lot of information about World War 2. The language of the site requires a fair level of literacy, making the intended audience teenagers or older. This site offers numerous links and timelines and a good outline of the events of World War 2. However, the design is poor, and there seems to be a lack of authors or sponsors. This website makes a poor impression.

Eileen Andrews 9/11/11 Overview: This site is very useful if someone is looking for information specifically about World War 2. This website provides tools for both students and teachers including lesson plans, overviews and in-depth information a topics about WW2. Many tools provided for teachers, such as field trips and in-class visits from the museum are only useful for those in the New Orleans area. Content: This website provides a lot of information about the museum and what it has to offer both at the museum and online information. Design: The site seems to be well taken care of and it is fairly easy to navigate as well. The tool bar at the top provides drop down menus so you know exactly what you are going to be finding in that section. The graphics on the site also make it very appealing.

Overview: This website is a time line. It is pretty easy to understand and should be fairly straight forward. There are not graphics to draw ones attention away from the subject matter, which is both a plus, and a bit of a draw back. Content: The content of this site is fairly straight forward. It is a timeline of the events of WW2. Each date is in bold font with a description underneath appropriate for middle school students. Design: The design of this website is very easy to use. There is not much to the site. It is a standard time line, there are no pictures. But all the relevant information is in chronological order.

Great videos on WWI. Some WWII and other videos are in the lists.
