Class was exciting today because I had the students focusing
on trench warfare. First, we watched a
short youtube video that depicted what World War I looked like. It included soldiers marching, digging trenches,
soldiers going over the top, tanks, gas masks, and everything else associated
with the war. Next, we played around
with an interact map that showed the troop movements during the western front
before looking at an interactive BBC website that showed what a day in the life
of someone living in the trenches looked like.
Finally, I gave the kids pieces of paper to wad up and gave them five
minutes to build trenches before they reenacted a trench warfare battle
(essentially a glorified version of dodgeball).
It was loud, chaotic, and awesome!
After school, I had a rather uneventful day of working on homework and
updating the blog. At about 8:30 or so,
Zoe returned home from Nicaragua. I
think Liliana’s heart is full again with all her kiddos back home.
