| Welcome Dave.
Great to see an interest in our past, especially WW2.
What class levels are you involved with? (Assists with the degree of content)
Where is your school situated. Area will do if you do not want to be specific.
(There may be some local content that is available)
Many libraries around Australia have some good info on (VHS) like "The World at War" which has specific sections on the Pacific theatre.
The Australian government websites are second to none in quality material.
Let us know a generalised view of what you wish to cover for the rest of this semester and what you are planning to cover in a full year in 2008.
Cheers

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."
(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
