Hitler and A New Unit!

Even though I am happy that we are starting a new unit, I am also going to miss the WTNY unit a little bit. I believe that the unit helped me grow as a student and tought me that I can do much more than I ever thought I could. AAlthough I did not reach 100 pages with all of my ICE's and EQ's, I am proud of myslef and know that I did what I could to the best of my abbilities. The main reason that I am so exited to start the Holocaust unit is because it always interested me and I am exited to be learing more about it and why it happened and how. This is the final book that we will be reading in Mr. Boyle's class and I believe that it will be a very good unit. Although doing blog posts is very refreshig from doing 7 page papers, I think I might miss them. 

We recently fininshed the Wait Till Nexy Year unit, and are starting out Night unit.  I am very excited to start a new unit and be back to blog posts rather than 7 page EQ's. In preperation for the Night unit we are learing more about the Holocaust and WWII. We have learned a lot about Hitler and everything that he did to start WWII and the Holocaust. The things that he did were insane and more people really should have read his book, then everything that had happened may not have happened. There were so many things that could have gone wrong and derailed the whole Holocaust and WWII, for example, after Papen's speech about Hitler and the Nazi's having too much power could have gotten Hitler fired from the office. The European leaders could have put him in his place while he was demanding more and more land, instead of giving him everything that he wanted in exchange for a promise. Overall, I believe it is incredible that Hitler was able to fool so many people into believing that all he wanted was peace. Everything that he was doing was screaming the exact opposite of peace. As for the people who did figure out what Hitler was going to do, no one believed them, and thought that they were crazy.
