Creating an Enemy... We hope everyone is ready to have a nice and safe spring break. If you would like an extra credit opportunity, use your notes from Friday to create an poster depicting the Nazis as an enemy. Pretend you are the British government trying to draw the United States into the war against Hitler, how might the British characterize the Nazis? You will be graded on the effort put into the drawing and the concept you create. Good luck! Here some examples. Mr. McDowell Ms. Jenkins Sunday, January 30, 2005

Currently, there is a movie out called Hotel Rwanda that chronicles the event through a hotel manager named Paul Rusesabagina.
