2. Go to the WWII links with the Chrome Books and dedicate a page in your NB for "Pearl Harbor"...go to link "Pearl Harbor Interactive Map"...and go through the site...listen and create a complete timeline of the attack...this is a National Geographic site that is pretty darn cool.  Why did they do it?
