Students watched clips from theatrical films to illustrate the development and application of technology to warfare. Students were to take notes for each clip in order to:
- identify the use of technology (weapons, machines, structures, etc.)
- explain the use of that technology
- describe how the technology changed warfare

Students will work on unit 6 Discourse. If students finish Discourse or for some reason Discourse is not working, they should work on the New Deal Project.
