Chris Goodson from Gaston County Schools gave our 8th graders the time of the classroom lives this past Wednesday and Thursday when they learned more about life in the trenches during World War 1. Chris gave us his fantastic Minecraft world to allow us the opportunity to introduce the war environment to our 8th grade Social Studies classes. Highlights included a game of "capture the flag/destroy the other army's headquarters", and building additions to the site including a hospital, POW camp, Officers' quarters, a weapons' depot. Thanks to Mike, (UNCG) and our 8th grade Social Studies Teachers, Mr. Luthi & Mr. Thornton, our students have a different perspective of just how dispensable soldiers were, how war was waiting... fighting... waiting.... Thanks, Chris!
