This week we are discussing the Korean War. We finished our vocabulary in class on Tuesday and answered questions from a handout that was given to the class. Wednesday we took the State's Benchmark test to see how the kids are doing at the halfway point of the year; the test is not counted in their grades. For the remainder of the week we will finish up Korea with a History Channel movie and an interview with a veteran of the conflict.
In our discussion of Korea we are covering things such as the Cold War, communism, the 38th parallel, and many other things that tie in with the war.
Next week we will move into Vietnam, and the colonization of China.
