Write Graffiti on the Berlin Wall

Due Monday, December 5, 2011

You have each been given a building block of our own "Berlin Wall."  Here is your opportunity to express your feelings about what things were like during the time of the Berlin Wall. Think about all you learned watching the video clips about it. Draw a picture or write something or both to show what you might think or feel about it if you lived then. This will be your "graffiti." You must write a paragraph on the back (or separate paper) to explain what you drew and how it relates to the Wall. Make it colorful, creative, and relevant to the historical situation.
