Hi Aletheia,
Wow! you made a list of the events!

For this task you are require to choose one event only and write a few sentences about it based on facts. I will give you an example:
'1942 to 1943 - The Battle of Stalingrad was consider a major defeat for the Germans as they lost the fight to take over the city Stalingrad to the Soviet Union. This was also one of the most cruel battles of the War as it was estimated that around 2 million people were killed, wounded or captured. The Stalingrad battle marked the first time that the Nazi government publicly acknowledged a failure in its war effort. The Stalingrad battle lost was consider of crucial importance towards the end of the World War II. I did choose this battle because of it's impact towards the end of the World War II and also because it also reveal the power of the Soviet Union.'

In order for you to gain full points for this activity I will need you to choose one event, research about it and then summarise the event in your post just like I did above. Also, if you could add one image of the event to support your written that would be great. Could you do that and let me know?

Keep up the good work!
Kia kaha,
Patricia

Hi Aletheia,
I realized that I made a mistake in my comment above. I mentioned that you need to list 1 event but in fact the activity is requesting for you to summarize 2 events. See below:
"On your blog, write a short summary of two events, including the names of people involved and where the event happened."

Could you do that and let me know?

Kia kaha,
Patricia
