Thursday November 12th & Friday November 13th

Students watched the film, "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". Everyone seems to really enjoy it...the book is a very quick, great read if anyone is interested.

An assignment is due on the film. Make sure your answers are in full complete sentences and in paragraph form.

We began to talk about the Holocaust on Friday. The slides from that lesson are below.

Wednesday November 11th

Today's class was spent at the Remembrance Day assembly and the Cenotaph.

Tomorrow we will begin our mini-unit on the Holocaust.

Tuesday November 10th

With all of the information in the news about the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down, we skipped ahead in history and looked at this event.
