Spanning world civilizations, synthesizing dozens of political, philosophical, and religious texts and thousands of years of violent conflict, The 33 Strategies of War is the I-Ching of conflict, the contemporary companion to Sun Tzu’s The Art of War .

Grant, as well as movie moguls, Samurai swordsmen, and diplomats, each of the thirty-three chapters outlines a strategy that will help you win life’s wars.

My junior high age son did an awesome "scrapbook" project on the Vietnam War. He did a thorough job in his research but I would still double check the facts if you are looking for official information and we took a lot of the pictures off of google so some of them may be copyrighted. I know other students may be tempted, but please don't copy the report because that would be cheating, right? I helped him with the layout and graphics (thank you Stampin' Up for the great background pages) but the thoughts and writings are his own. The pretend newspaper article is something that really happened to our family in July 2008 in Washington D.C. but I changed the names since I don't put our private info "out there." I highly recommend that everyone takes their children to Washington D.C. at some point in their childhood if they can pull it off. Best trip of our lives. I sure wish I had really studied this war earlier in my life (or paid more attention in school). I wonder if the war was too "raw" and controversial to discuss since it ended when I was in elementary school. I had so many Vietnamese students at my high school whose parents had escaped from Vietnam after the war. We called them "boat people" since they arrived on boats and I honestly didn't give much thought as to why they wanted to come to America. In hindsight, I wish I had been more sensitive and compassionate to their plight, or the plight of their parents. Enjoy!

Students learn about some of the key players during World War I (World War 1) by going on a scavenger hunt. Scatter the 22 statements around your room and students use QR Code Readers to find out Who Am I? Students fill out a handout with the answers and complete a graphic organizer. No QR Code Readers in your classroom? No problem! A non-QR code version is included as well as answer keys for the handout and graphic organizer. Note: The QR codes were designed for students to use a QR code reader app to reveal the person's name. If students do not have a QR code reader app, they may use the camera on their device. However, the camera reads the QR code differently. It assumes they want an Internet search for the name (there is no way to control what sites the device pulls into the search). So, if students want to use their camera, they will need to first put their device in airplane mode or turn off the WiFi connection.
