As a kid the Horrible Histories series of educational books were some of my favorites.
Two of the books delt with the WW2 The Woeful Second World War and The Blitzed-Brits.
Both are excellent and age appropriate.
My favs:
> I mean, change the countries around a little, and it could be coloring a picture of Pearl Harbor being bombed, the London Underground attacks, or the World Trade Center going down.
You mean like this:

Dover has the best colouring books! (Yes, I know it's for kids older than 5.)
My best guess would be that the teacher needed to kill some time and made a stack of old assorted colouring pages available to the kids so they could amuse themselves. I doubt it was part of any kind of lesson.
He had the opportunity to kill him on an empty street in Switzerland but choose not to because Werner said that Germany wouldn’t win the war and Berg judged that meant Heisenberg wouldn’t complete the Atomic Bomb before the US
There’s a whole book called “Bomb” by Steven Sheinkin that is a great read on the story of the Atomic Bomb

This photo was on a the cover of a book I found on Amazon Here. If you are curious, they have used copies for $1.09- it is called Children During Wartime by Brenda Williams. Unfortunately, I couldn't see a preview, but perhaps there is backstory on this photo or others?
Hmmm have you read Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures? It is a different type of book from Burned Alive but was really great.
*Edit: Also Tears of the Desert and Bite of the Mango!

You misspelled karma. You have the majority of your portfolio in a company that manufactures two products: electricity and childhood leukemia. There is no way you expected to escape the wrath of Amaterasu.
I'd get to folding there round eye.
I remember a pirates book on the library. I am not sure but it could be This
or That
If you are interested more visual book, and a little fancy. I remember that gem in the eye was inside the second page or something. Making a hole in the hardcover, giving 3D feeling.
I'm not an ESL teacher, but I'm a declared History major and a nearly declared Spanish major. I really think that learning a new language is like being 3 all over again, and most people need pictures and games like when they were little and learning to speak.
I have found history coloring books online that I plan to use sometimes as fun mini lessons. (Example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0486436950/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_tSKYxbD162ZQG )
I'm not sure, but if you could find one on your lesson and then provide it to them and allow them to get their points differently, I think it could really make a difference for them. Like you could have them practice a few pages at home and with you and then present it to the class rather than writing papers since they are having trouble.
I'm not sure if this is helpful or not...but good luck!!

Hey, I have that book!
A classic book from elementary school, haha :)
Thanks for the contest! (And, if you're american, HAPPY FOURTH IF JULY!)
Maus, Fax from Sarajevo, Persepolis, A Contract with God: And Other Tenement Stories.
We love the choose your own adventure style history / survival books. Not exactly in the same vein, but they're a hit with my boy who also loved Jocko's book.
http://www.amazon.com/George-Washington-Spymaster-Americans-Revolutionary/dp/1426300417
Great read...also google the 'Culper Spy Ring' and Major Benjamin Tallmadge
Edit: spelling and name
You could dox me, surely. You could easily find at least my name, probably more with that (I have a fairly unique first/last name combination).
Likely you couldn't take over any of my accounts. I don't reuse passwords, I have a neat little salt-system that ensures that. I am still a data-engineer, still a web-developer, so I'm not making the same mistakes 95% of everyone does.
I disagree regarding the Founding Fathers; their attitude seems more along the lines of 'if you want to keep a secret, then you better work hard at keeping secrets'.
George Washington was the country's first spymaster, and subterfuge and privacy were high on his list of important things. He was damn good at it too (good book on the subject).
But you can't legislate privacy: You cannot legislate "don't give away secrets". It's just like "you can't legislate away stupidity". People who want privacy can get it. Easily. People who don't care, don't care.
People who want privacy but at the same time post their shit all over the internet... well I'm glad the founding fathers didn't take that type into consideration. They are the same people who want no GMOs, no pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, and oh, make sure no one goes hungry too. These are people who want to have their cake and eat it too, as the saying goes.
On that note; the NSA still can't legally spy directly on citizens without a warrant. Even after all the Snowden docs released, no one pays attention to this little tidbit. They haven't been spying on citizens. They can spy on corporations without a warrant... and if you give your personal data to Facebook, Google, whatever, then NSA spies on Facebook.. well they'll get your data too. That's how it works. That's why this is still a personal decision for people to make. I don't have a Facebook. That's my personal decision made. The day the government tries to mandate people all get a Facebook, then I'll get all up-in-arms with my Constitutional self. But that's never gonna happen.
Why mention self-publication? I'm not following you on that point.
This is going to sound silly, but the origami. I know it originally started in China but Japan is what everyone associates with. When I was in the first grade, each class chose a country to study and ours was Japan. Our teacher (whose parents were from Japan), taught us how to origami. I still know how to do some of the simple animals and boxes (though I am awful at everything else).
I also vaguely remember her bringing some Japanese candy for us to try. I don't remember what is tasted like but I do remember you could eat the paper (I think it melted in your mouth).
And we read the book, Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes, which is still one of the most beautiful and heart breaking stories I have read.
I also love anime. Particularly Cowboy Bebop (the best anime), Hayao Miyazaki (who doesn't love Studio Ghibli?), and Dragon Ball Z (yes, it is awful but it was my gateway anime). For my Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z were the shows that brought my dad, siblings, and I together every Saturday morning (so I have to thank Japan for that).
Goddamn This War by Jacques Tardi is tremendous. It's dark but so is ever WWI book.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1606995820/
For a lighter, more humourous WWI graphic novel, Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales: Treaties, Trenches, Mud, and Blood is great.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1419708082/
This is an amazing resource for kids. It's densly packed with great information and puts it in a way kids can follow and get wrapped up in it. I'm not trying to sell it...really...it's just my friend put a lot of work into it, and it's made the NYT Bestseller list for graphic books. Really well done. He has such a love for history that really comes out in his books.

I can't say of a novel aside from Treasure Island, but I've run across a nice little resource type book called Pirateology. It tells you all about the ships, weapons, famous pirates, it's a great book. There's also Pirates which is a little cheaper, more of a children's resource guide, but it's nice nonetheless. It's a wee bit easier to find than the first, but the first is considered the "go to" when speaking on behalf of Pirates.
This is my favorite:

Another, very predictable one!
https://www.amazon.com/1776-David-McCullough/dp/0743226712/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_img_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=Z1QBK7D5EDQXNGWDEABX
This one was surprisingly good, but I read it a long time ago:
https://www.amazon.com/Redcoats-Rebels-American-Revolution-Through/dp/0393322939/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1524103441&sr=1-1&keywords=redcoats+%26+rebels+the+american+revolution+through+british+eyes
Basically a kids book but I LOVED it!
https://www.amazon.com/Ordinary-Courage-Revolutionary-Adventures-Joseph/dp/1444351354/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1524103555&sr=1-3&keywords=plumb+martin
This too! (Actually embarrassing, but again, a GREAT read! Probably totally supports your point as this list grows!)
https://www.amazon.com/Yankee-Doodle-Boy-Adventures-Revolution/dp/082341180X/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1524103555&sr=1-4&keywords=plumb+martin

Here's one I started and never finished but was looking very interesting:
https://www.amazon.com/Radicalism-American-Revolution-Gordon-Wood/dp/0679736883/ref=sr_1_17?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1524103778&sr=1-17&keywords=history+of+the+american+revolution
You are confusing more freedom with equal treatment. Women still weren't treated on equal footing with men, and considered capable of fulfilling the same tasks.
Furthermore, several sources, including this book, seem to suggest that children also worked during that time.
Here is what I am saying: the difference in treatment of men and women:
I am not trying to diminish the losses and suffering of men, but I see the same pattern - women seen as subordinate/less capable, thus some burdens were shifted to men, based on that rationale. Aand I see no other rationale frankly. See also coverture.
