Today we finished our brief look at World War I with several video segments. Following that, we read Mark Twain's "The War Prayer." He raises several questions in this powerful piece, representing yet another perspective on questions we've asked about war and the role of the US in the world.

We will have a work day in the computer lab on Tuesday.
Here is the specific format for the letter.
