Class Work

Let's look back at Tuesday's post.

Today, groups will share the music! Discuss the items noted.

Class members - keep track of what you learned. (Chart provided.)


This was the homework!

Start thinking about a possible topic for the final essay.
  • The music of war
  • Honoring those who died
  • War in art
  • War in movies or on stage
  • Those left behind
  • Preparing for battle
  • Survival
  • Why We Fight
  • Unlikely Heroes
  • A personal hero
  • The need for heroes
  • War at home
  • Returning home after war
  • Military cemeteries/burial places (Punch Bowl, Arlington, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier etc.)
  • Celebrations or parades
  • Weapons
  • PTSD
  • The cost of war
  • Your idea . . . this is not an all inclusive list.
Select a topic. Create a mind-map or brainstorm bulleted list of all that you know about the topic. Decide what you want to say. Post the mind-map or brainstorm bulleted list in CANVAS by Thursday. (25 pts.)

Start conducting research now.

For the paper that will result from this, you will need the following:
1. An art selection or photograph
2. At least two interviews with family, friends, classmates, or others
3. A quotation from literature or music
4. A news link or history link
5. Reference to a play, movie, or television show
6. A graph or chart
7. References to at least two reliable sources of information: articles, books, pamphlets, government reports, magazine or newspaper articles, etc.

Keep track of your sources. You will submit a Working Bibliography AND a Works Cited page.

The paper copy of the Graphic Organizer is due Tuesday. There is no space in Canvas. You may recreate the chart in Word if you wish to keep notes there.
