Teaching World War II
Yesterday, the Modern America, 1941-68 class continued their exploration of the World War II era. We finished up a portion of the FDR film from the American experience after they did an in-class writing on Winkler's Homefront USA. Then we began to examine Japanese-American internment and next week we'll discuss German American internment, including an internment camp in Concordia, KS.
Most of the students are doing quite well with Blogger as part of their "reflective practice" and this week are learning how to insert pictures into their entries or into types of documents, including Word and PowerPoint.

Concordia POW Camp - World War II
As I was venturing out of Kansas, I went "off route" to tour this site. A new house has gone up on the section corner right across the road. This website gives the full story and better pictures.
I'll be on the road most of the day - primarily northern in direction.
