Almost Done

Wow!  Time has flown by.  I didn't realize that it's been this long since I last updated the blog.

Last week we held our Nuremberg Trial simulation.  Everyone did a great job keeping cool under pressure and presenting what you had prepared.  We also had five wonderful judges making up our tribunal and we are most grateful for their donation of time to come and help us out.  I think everyone learned much and had a great time.

This last week of class, everyone will be doing a presentation on their WWII interviews.  We'd like the presentations to be 10-15 minutes long.   We love visual aids as well.  I will bring my projector and speakers with the various connection options that I have.  I do not have a VGA cord, so if you need that to connect your laptop/device, you'll have to bring the cord.  I do have HDMI.

As a quick recap of prior weeks that were not blogged, we've covered the following:

• The Pacific Theater
• The Americans in the War
• From D-Day to the Liberation of Europe
• The Atom Bomb and the book Hiroshima by Hersey
• The End of the War
• The Occupation
• The War Crimes Trials

Don't forget to email me if you're going to have all of the class requirements completed in time.  I need to order your awards.  Remember that we removed the Biography requirement and the number of papers required was reduced to how many are actually found in the blog posts.  (As the semester progressed, we realized that we needed to adjust/prioritize some of the requirements.)

See you all on Thursday!
