We read the 16-2 lesson together. The students completed their notes as I read and we discussed the lesson. The lesson told us about how Woodrow Wilson war time powers, the agencies he organized to mobilize for war, and the suppression of civil rights that resulted from his administration. After that, I introduced, "Lost Battalion." It portrays Major Charles Whittlesey and the 308th U.S. Infantry as they were surrounded in the Argonne Forest in October 1918. As the movie played, the kids filled in questions over the movie and the actions of the 308th. Whittlesey would be awarded the Medal of Honor for his resistance against the Germany Army.
