Last day we looked at the true story of an Irish soldier who, while serving in Germany after WWI, saved the life of a young political activist:  Adolf Hitler.  We contemplated how the future might have turned out differently had the soldier not acted as he did.  Nonetheless, we came to the conclusion that his actions, viewed through the lens of his own time period, were ethically appropriate.

Blog Assignment #1
You have the ability to transport yourself to any historical event and take part. Describe that event, the role you played in it, and how it impacted history.  Your involvement may either change our history or explain why our world is the way it is today.

Make sure that this composition has a creative idea, interesting diction (word choice), specific detail, varied sentence length, and a dynamic introduction and conclusion.

High level responses will use formal language and proper grammar and punctuation. Make sure you include plenty of detail - this should be a lengthy paragraph.

Most importantly, keep it out of my "Boring Bin." Either dazzle me with your description, entertain me with your humor and creativity, or impress me with profound, thought provoking, and mature ideas.

Top marks will be awarded for those who are able to accomplish all of the above.

IF YOU FINISH YOUR ARTICLE, then you may first complete your class link list. That means add your classmates' blogs. Then feel free to add pictures, create a profile about yourself and customize your template.
