Read the following. Prepare for a Socratic Seminar on Tuesday.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debate_over_the_atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki
Truman and the Hiroshima Cult, Chapter 8-"What if the Bomb Had Not Been Used?" http://www.questiaschool.com/read/23188887 . If you can't read it from questia, check out my website at: http://ditzenberger.googlepages.com/home and go to the bottom of the page where you will find a Word doc that you can open. Thanks!
Notes can be brought to class to help with the Socratic Seminar. Your ticket in to the class will include:
1) a paragraph answering the question-was it the right choice to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
2) three universal questions. A universal question helps apply the situation to people and nations that transcend the particular time and place in which this historical event occured.
