With these engaging learning activities, middle school students can give voice to those who were silenced in one of humanity's darkest chapters, or finish one of Dwight D. Eisenhower's last paintings.

High School

IKEducation offers several lesson plans that connect high school students with primary sources and asks them to analyze the tough, history-changing decisions Dwight D. Eisenhower had to make as both Supreme Allied Commander in World War II and President of the United States.
