This week:

Reasons why Hitler came to power and the meaning of Nazism.

We will explore the role of women in World War II.

And we will begin to discuss D-Day, when 150,000 Allied soldiers landed on the shores of Normandy.

We will differentiate writing to inform from writing to argue and persuade.

And, for a change of pace, we will study The History of Spices. Here is another spice route map.

WPA posters are from the Library of Congress American Memory collection.
