Good Saturday!
FYI - I am sending this directly to you as well as posting it, so you SHOULD receive it twice.
As I write this, the sun is shining through my window; it is gorgeous outside today, and it makes me glad to be alive! I am grateful that we enjoy the many freedoms of today in this great nation, due to the sacrifices of so many great heroes gone before.

This week in class we had a discussion and activity learning about some of the political and military leaders of WWII.
We also discussed what a demagogue is, and how they garner power through appealing to prejudices and popular desires, rather than appealing to rational argument. We saw how the leaders of the Axis powers (chiefly Germany, Italy and Japan) used demagoguery to manipulate their respective populaces.
We also took an IMPROMPTU quiz on WWII, and each of you were allowed to keep those quizzes and take them home.
If you would like to change/amend any of your initial answers, please do so on another page.
We can go through the answers next week in class (if Gen. Schmieder has time).
ASSIGNMENTS:
Complete and bring your beautiful, detailed, colorful timelines of WWII
Amend your quizzes (if desired) but at least BRING them back to class next week
Read/finish The Hiding Place - book discussion is March 3rd!
Keep up the great work...see you next Thursday!
