Week 4: The Germans' Invasions

General Paige taught our lecture on the German invasions leading up to and including the early part of WWII.

Noah and Josh each shared one of the heroes they've studied for their individual hero projects. 

As part of our culture of the era, we shared a video of Abbott and Costello's "Who's on First?" comedy sketch:  http://youtu.be/J_gSWTQKE-0

Another video we shared was a more general video about the heroes and heroism of Americans:  http://youtu.be/eVecpn3DUHc

We went more in depth on how to do the interviews of folks who lived during WWII.  Please help your scholar to find at least two people to interview.  I'll try to send out a help sheet later when I get home.

We ran out of time for our journal prompt this week so it would be great if students could spend 3-5 minutes answering this question in their journals at home this week:  Make a list of kinds of bondage and their causes.

Writing Assignment:  "What choices do you still have when you are in bondage?"

Keep working on your individual hero reports.  You should have 3-4 heroes now.
