Block days this week were spent in the computer lab working on an in-class assignment that examines American involvement in wars throughout history. Groups were assigned a specific war, and you were asked to locate various kinds of information pertaining to that war, such as the causes of the conflict, reasons for American involvement, any controversy that surrounded either. Pairs then created a one-page write up that explains the conflict, and compared their assigned war to Vietnam. What common themes were noticed? Similarities/differences? How does O'Brien's depiction of the Vietnam War affect your thinking about other wars, if at all? If you were absent, please download the assignment sheet, choose one of the wars indicated on the assignment, and do a little research. Turn in a one page explanation as soon as possible. For homework, please read pages 117-134 by Friday. Also, your SOAPSTONE Analysis assignment #1 is due on Friday at the beginning of class. NO LATER. Origins of War Research Assignment
