We finished watching
"White Light/Black Rain" today. You should have completed the film study that went along with it. I realize that this documentary at times was quite graphic in nature, by I think it's important for you to see the aftermath of the atomic bombs, not just the destruction of the cities, but to hear what
hibakusha have to say about their lives after the event is important. I think the documentary also does a nice job of looking at how the nature of warfare changed after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I gave you a reading booklet after the movie was over so you can prepare for tomorrow's debate.
Most of today's class was spent in the library researching your assigned colony for
next Tuesday's presentation. Make sure that you are able to communicate with one another over the course of this long weekend. Presentations will happen on Tuesday. Please try to be creative in your presentation! Simply reading off of a PowerPoint isn't what we're looking for! This is also good practice for future presentations that you will have to do in IB (TOK presentations for example).
