Say, "Thank You Mrs. Smith!"
Mrs. Smith Must Be Crazy
Everything important you need to understand about American History can be learned from watching the Star Wars Saga! It is true! This is because random dates, timelines, and listing wars on your fingers are not what is important about history. History is about the big ideas. It is about the things that changed our world. It is about learning from the mistakes we made and understanding the consequences of those we didn’t. History is humanity’s diary. We record what we do and how we felt, then reflect on these records as we grow and develop.
As we watch the Star Wars Saga, we will discuss how various things in the movie represent real things, events, attitudes, and lessons learned in American History. We will also use the movies to gain a better understanding of the different types of governments and how they work. Good, luck, have fun....
