Phew! Exhausting day. I just taught the whole Global War on Terror in one class period!

I just dumbed down the GWOT into a 57 minute lecture. You're not supposed to just lecture students (especially not 10th graders!) but for some reason today's lesson kept them captivated. Here's the vocabulary for today's lesson...

1. Al-Qaeda
2. Osama bin Laden
3. Taliban
4. WMDs

1998-2000
5. Operation Desert Fox
6. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania
7. Operation Infinite Reach
8. USS Cole bombing

2001-2002
9. September 11th Attack
10. Operation Enduring Freedom
11. Guantánamo Bay, Cuba
12. 2002 Bali bombing

2003-present
13. Operation Iraqi Freedom
14. Abu Ghraib
15. Al-Qaeda in Iraq

Map Locations

17. Indonesia
18. Afghanistan
19. Iraq
20. Iran

Just time for the very basics, obviously. What a wrenching day!
