WEEK OF APRIL 11 - 15
This week is a lot like last week. However, we took longer to get ready for the trial than expected. We did discuss the major battles of WWII in Europe and then the strategy of Island Hopping in the Pacific. We did see some good footage on aircraft carriers, Island Hopping and Kamikazes. We also had a quiz on Friday. So now.....
Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday court will be in session presided over by the Honorable Judge Perlow.
Thursday we will be discussing the end of the war in both Germany and Japan.
Friday we will be doing an activity on the Atomic Bomb. We will be heading into vacation with the cold war.
Here is the footage of aircraft carriers and kamikaze.
