How This Blog Works

We will be using this blog for a couple reasons.

1. The first reason is to discuss the history of each time period we study. I felt like students need to try and grasp more of the history in each unit and not just what they see in the movie.

2. To try and give you a voice. The more of a voice you have the more connected you will be to this class.

Assignment for this Blog Post:

1. Please go to the "comments" or "post a comment" link below and share with use what is the most historically important event that has happened in your lifetime. Keep in mind that a historical event is something that makes the news, changes society somehow, or can be found in a "history textbook" so to speak.

2. Also, after watching the videos in Lesson 1, please make a connection between World War II to something in your life. This could be as simple as a family member or friend that fought in the war. It could be something about how teens dealt with the war compared to how you are dealing with our current war. Any connection you can make will work.

So that means two things will be in your post, an important event in your life and how a connection between your life and what you learned about WWII in Lesson 1.
