Bokons Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I saw the post about WWII and the Holocaust for middle school. Does anyone have recommendations for WWI? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Tick Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) Don't miss Treaties, Trenches, Mud, and Blood by Nathan Hale. It is a graphic novel that really helps explain all the twists and turns. https://www.amazon.com/Treaties-Trenches-Blood-Nathan-Hazardous/dp/1419708082 Edited October 13, 2018 by SusanC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, when DS#1 has had time, he watches each new week as it is released, and he says it's been quite interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
