script for ww2 battle project
(Newspaper article)
Salerno
"City (pop., 2001 prelim.: 144,078), southern Italy. Located on the Gulf of Salerno, it was founded by the Romans in 197 BC on the site of an earlier town. Part of a Lombard duchy from AD 646, it was the capital of an independent Lombard principality from 839 to c. 1076. It was then conquered by the Norman Robert Guiscard and became his capital. It was later incorporated into the Kingdom of Naples. During World War II, Salerno's coast was the scene of a major battle (September 1943) between Allied landing forces and German troops. It is an active seaport in an industrial area; its landmarks include a medical school (the earliest in Europe, probably founded in the 9th century) and the cathedral (845, rebuilt 1076–85) that contains the tombs of St. Matthew and Pope Gregory VII." -- Italy's definition of Salerno.
"Salerno, capital of Salerno prov., Campania, S Italy, on the Gulf of Salerno, an inlet of the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is an agricultural, commercial, and industrial center. Manufactures include machinery, textiles, construction materials, and processed food. Originally a Greek settlement and later a Roman colony (founded 197 B.C.), Salerno became (6th cent.) a part of the duchy of Benevento and in the 9th cent. the seat of an independent principality, which fell to Robert Guiscard in 1076. In Sept., 1943, there was fierce fighting on the beaches near Salerno between the Allied landing forces and the Germans, who were pressed to retreat toward Naples. Of note in Salerno is the Sicilian-Norman cathedral (11th cent; redone in the 18th cent.), with the tomb of Pope Gregory VII and an impressive 12th-century pulpit. The famous medical school of Salerno (founded in the 9th cent., closed in the early 19th cent.) is believed to have been the first of its kind and reached its height in the 12th cent."

FINAL BLOG):
Im sad too mr. burns):
its okay life will go on.
you have mr. keolien. lol
My favorite topic was when we were talking about Lincoln's assassination, it was amusing, cuz of all the fun we have in your class, everyone laughs, and makes jokes, and it makes it fun. Lincoln's assassination was at fords theatre and that was interesting to read about
The least interesting topic was when we were learning about the immigrants, it didnt catch my attention, and i didnt really understand.
We could have read aloud an article on it.
No, i liked the projects we did.
I specifically liked the recent one, with the articles, i wish we would've done that more.
Your class was fun, maybe it was you, or our 6th hour students, or both. but i loved this class im glad i have you next semester!

Poets in WWI
1.)
"How to Die"
Dark clouds are smouldering into red
While down the craters morning burns.
The dying soldier shifts his head
To watch the glory that returns;
He lifts his fingers toward the skies
Where holy brightness breaks in flame;
Radiance reflected in his eyes,
And on his lips a whispered name.
You'd think, to hear some people talk,
That lads go West with sobs and curses,
And sullen faces white as chalk,
Hankering for wreaths and tombs and hearses.
But they've been taught the way to do it
Like Christian soldiers; not with haste
And shuddering groans; but passing through it
With due regard for decent taste.
2.) This poem has a lot to do with the war, its talking a lot about pain, without saying the actual word, i like that, also, its talking about "funerals/people dying" It also explains how the men soldiers go off into war, and the woman [lads] are crying and cursing, because they know that there is a big chance their man wont come back. The way the man wrote this is very descriptive, but you have to have common sense to understand it.
3.) Biograpy on Siegfried Sassoon-
Sassoon was born September, 8th, 1886, and he died in 1967. He became an English Poet, "He became known as a writer of satirical anti-war verse during World War I. He later won acclaim for his prose work, notably his three-volume fictionalized autobiography, collectively known as the "Sherston Trilogy"." Sassoon was born at Weirleigh hospital. His father, Alfred Ezra Sassoon (1861-1895) "came from the wealthy Indian Baghdadi Jewish Sassoon merchant family but was disinherited for marrying outside the faith. His mother, Theresa, belonged to the Thorny-croft family, sculptors responsible for many of the best-known statues in London"
