Thursday, October 14th -- Day Two

Period One: ELA 10
The research assignments are due on Monday. With this in mind the students were given one last class to work on it. No more class time will be given so if you are not completed this assignment, make sure to set time aside between now and Monday to complete.

Period Two: History 20
We quickly reviewed the theatres of war that existed during World War I. We then discussed what the terms 'total war' and 'attrition' meant, and how they were related to the events of World War I. This led into a handout that discussed these ideas, along with providing a little more information about the trenches to the students. This handout entitled "Total War and Attrition" can be found at mrhmorin.wikispaces.com, or by clicking on the assignment link in the top left hand corner. We also looked at two of three diagrams of the trenches, one of how the trenches were set up to allow for "No Man's Land' in between them, and the second was on overhead view of the first two lines of a trench; those being the front line, and support line.

Period Three/Four: ELA 9
We kept busy as the students worked towards completing several things; all of which are due tomorrow. They are in order:
a) Personal Anecdote
b) Language Power -- Lessons 14, 15, 16
c) Read short story entitled "Borders" on p. 46 of Crossroads.
