This week the students wrote a reflective essay about our trip to the Holocaust Memorial, the Wolfsonian FIU Museum, and the performance of the opera The Passenger. We also viewed the film Focus, an historical drama about the United States at the start of WWII. We used the film to spark a discussion about the political and social atmosphere in the United States at the time. We explored the reasons why the United States held back from entering the war sooner, and continued our discussions about why it was acceptable to turn away Jewish refugees escaping the Nazi regime, and place Japanese American citizens into internment camps.
This week, the students will compare and contrast how progressive technology has impacted the way information is presented and influenced our view of the world, as they create propaganda museum exhibits for a variety of historical events. The assigned events have occurred in different time periods from the Civil War to the present, in order to illustrate the growth of the importance of the use of multi-media technology over time.
