New Unit!- WORLD WAR I

The Great War begins. This unit discusses the first outbreak of a global battle that involves many major players we have studied this year including France, Italy, Germany and yes the good old United States of America. This unit we will see how alliances are formed, the impact of imperialism, and the crazy amount of death and violence that occurs in the first world war. The development of machine guns, tanks, poison gas, trenches, and airplanes lead to an extraordinary amount of deaths.

Invisible Children

Hey All,

This movie is about children in Uganda ( a former British colony). The children are from the Sudan where there has been an outbreak of civil war for the last 20 years.
