"I never questioned the necessity of that war. And I still do not question it. It was something that had to be done."
World War II veteran Sam Hynes
"That war" was World War II, and millions like Sam Hynes sacrificed everything to win it, sometimes even their lives. Nearly 65 years after the end of the war, more than 1000 veterans of the conflict die daily. Theirs is a story that needs to be told, and deserves telling.
World War II, and specifically the new Ken Burns film, The War, will be the discussed in this week's TAPPED IN Social Studies forum, set for Wednesday (September 26), at 8 p.m. Eastern (5 p.m. Pacific) time. TAPPED IN's web address is [www.tappedin.org].
Joining us for this special forum will be Stacey Schwartz, Project Manager, Interactive Media and Outreach at PBS affiliate WETA, which co-produced the film. In addition, other guests from the Veterans’ History Project may be in attendance. We'll discuss resources and lessons available on the accompanying website for the film (http://www.pbs.org/thewar), and will discuss strategies teachers can use to bring the story home to their students not only on a national basis, but a local one as well.
While this session is a Social Studies forum, the film and resources can be used in various grade levels and subject areas. All teachers, regardless of what they teach are invited to attend this session and join in the discussion. Please let colleagues know the details of the session.
As always, TAPPED IN help desk personnel will be on-hand to assist new users. It's recommended that new users log in at least 10 minutes prior to the session in case they need assistance. Educators are strongly encouraged to join TI as members (it's easy, and free).
Persons with questions about the session or needing more information are invited to e-mail Michael Hutchison off-list.
Sincerely,
Michael Hutchison
