We are going to be studying the causes, symptoms, and results of war and violence. We will be using some short films to guide our learning. The films are included in the links below. We will first be sorting the causes of war and violence, discussing using the Pre-Viewing questions, and watching/discussing "When the Dust Settles" as a group.
