The document provides instructions for students to complete a group reading activity about the end of World War II in Germany. It divides students into groups and assigns each group member a section to read aloud and have the other members summarize and ask questions about. The sections are: New German Offensive, Collapse and Armistice, and Revolutionary Forces. It also includes directions for students to work together to list five events that may not have occurred if Germany had not revolted against the Kaiser, ending World War I, and to evaluate a propaganda picture using the OPTIC analysis technique.
