U.S. History

We discussed and edited the theses for Crash Course #33 (The Depression) and #s 35 & 36 (WWII) via SMART Board.  I shared a few Depression era anecdotes from older members of my extended family and encouraged them to ask their grandparents about stories they'd been told by their parents.  We then began taking EQ notes and adding CQs while watching "Elie Wiesel Returns to Auschwitz" -- be prepared that it is a Holocaust film and contains archival photography and video footage from inside the death camps; it is an important and gruesome reality.  We viewed through 20:00 and will finish the rest tomorrow in class.
