Feb. 26 - World War I or The Great War

Students had work time to complete their postcard from the trenches.  Students need to use real facts from the trenches to write a fictional postcard from the front lines.  This assignment will be due on Friday, Feb. 26.  We will put our packets together tomorrow and we will take the test Monday.  Thursday, I will send students home with a study guide for the test.
