Fog of War

Please watch the next 2 lessons of the Fog of War (a.k.a., watch up until the 1 hour and 21 minute mark).

I will upload the lab on Monday for those of you missing Monday and/or Tuesday. We will be working on this in class on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

Homework 9/9 and 9/10

Tonight’s homework is a bit different…

You are to watch a portion of the Fog of War for homework. Click HERE to access the link. Only watch up until the 31:24 minute marker for 9/9 homework.

While you are watching, you will write down the lessons that he learned from Vietnam (they literally pop up on the screen saying “Lesson 1…..”) and write a description of what he means in this lesson and any examples that he uses.

Tomorrow (Thursday) night’s homework will be to watch from 31:24 up until 50:03 and complete the same process of identifying the lessons, an explanation, and examples. Therefore, if you want to, you may watch up until that point tonight and have no homework tomorrow.
