Homework due April 14th (post-KS, break, etc, etc)

1. Read Maus, vol. 2: And Here My Troubles Began. (Yes, all of it.) In your notebook, keep a list of all scenes, lines, panels, or images that you think are integral to the understanding of WWII and the Holocaust. Keep a second list of scenes, lines, panels, or images that you see as telling of the way we remember, retell, and translate history. There can (and very well may be) overlap between these two lists.

2. Read and comment on at least five posts on the blog.

3. Read the description of the fourth quarter project (posted above). Choose your subject for pt. 1 and begin research. You should have a solid understanding of what the monument is commemorating (the event or person/people) and know the basic facts of where it sits, when it was built, and what it looks like. Begin to think about what you will choose for pts. 2 and/or 3.

4. Using the Google Calendar set up a meeting with me during the first week back from break (April 14th-17th) to talk about your proposed topic and the preliminary research you’ve done.

5. Extra Credit Ops: Over break you’ll receive extra credit for every (relevant) post you make to the blog. If you come across an article or clip (or image or forum or cartoon or thought) that relates to our studies this year or the conversation already in place on the blog – about fascism and systems of rule, about propaganda, about civilian participation or death in war, about the role and teaching of history – put it on up. We want to know what you’re finding and thinking, even on vacation.
