Language Arts 5-8-14

Today in Princeton we read an article about an incident of antisemitism.  We discussed the need for remembering so we can change the world.  Binders will be checked Friday.
Today in Yale and Harvard we finished our examination of Nazi propaganda; teams reported on what they saw in the piece and what method of propaganda was employed.  Memoir Maps were collected.
Binders were checked.

We corrected Simple Solutions #73.
We began watching the movie, Swing Kids, and began a journal entry creating a "Think and Note" focusing on how people resisted the Nazi takeover and how the Nazi's tried taking total control.

HOMEWORK:
Simple Solutions #74
Y & H:  read chapters 13, 14, 15; create memoir maps
Night: read next chapter and create a memoir map
