Fundamentalists vs. "Moderns"
As we were discussing the Scopes Trial today and the increasing debate over the "Separation of Church and State", a member of C Block rightly said that the phrase "Under God" was added to the Pledge to the American Flag sometime after its adoption by the United States. The pledge was established in 1892, and was actually written by Francis Bellamy (the cousin of author Edward Bellamy, whom we have already discussed). A few changes were made throughout the years, but the most controversial was the addition of the phrase "under God" was added in 1954. I have found a very interesting clip about the Pledge, and it offers a great explanation to its meaning. The speaker is an American comedian, although this piece is not a humorous one.

Recognizing Great Depression Themes:
In the 1970s, "The Waltons" was a popular American TV show. The show, based on Earl Hamner's book //Spencer's Mountain,// centered on a Virginian mountain family during the Great Depression, and eventually spanning into World War II. In order to evaluate your knowledge of the Great Depression, I am offering you the opportunity to earn a little extra credit. On your next test, there will be a section that asks questions that come from "The Waltons" episodes listed below. You watch as many or as few as you wish, but as you watch them look for things that remind you of the Great Depression, the New Deal, and the overall feelings of the time. I've only posted the first part of all the episodes, so you'll have to find the link for the rest of the parts once you get to youtube. Have fun, enjoy the TV shows, and watch critically.
