Wow, what a week it has been, you can tell that both the students and the faculty have been cooped up way to long and are all jonesen for spring. My students are still real good and even though the sun shining through the windows gets a few of them ancey most are still pretty focused and glad that Napoleon has died and the first French Revolution is behind us. We had a pretty good time with the Napoleonic wars and our faux recreation of the Battle of Trafalgar. As years end is fast approaching we area starting to give the students more information and taking them pretty fast through the Industrial and Agricultural revolutions, The Crimean War, The Unification of Germany and into WWI.
I found some pretty good information on the Charge of the Light Brigade and even found a pretty good clip with the British making fun of all the mistakes that were make.
Horrible Histories - Charge of the Light Brigade
These guys have some great takes on various historical events and are worth taking a look at to use in your lessons.
Looking forward to WWI and II and the section we are developing on Russia from the Revolution to the Fall of Communism.
