THE WHITE ROSE

watch ZEITGEISTMOVIE.COM *Apologies for the spelling mistakes on the video. The White Rose was Sophie Scholl, Hans Scholl, Christoph Probst, Alex Schmorell, Willi Graf and Kurt Huber. The White Rose was a group of five German students, and a philosophy professor who between June 1942, and February 1943 distributed leaflets in Germany calling for the people to help put an end, by peaceful means, to the tyranny of the Nazi oppression. All the members were arrested, tried, convicted and beheaded in 1943. The White Rose name was used to symbolise purity and innocence in the face of evil. Original music and visuals.

How To Use Apostrophes

This was made for university as an example of a teaching tool. It was made using photo story 3 and had to teach an aspect of grammar. I chose apostrophes. This would be aimed at year 6s, 7s and 8s (or older) who already have a basic knowledge of apostrophes but need some revision. The photos were acquired from Flickr and Natalie Dee. I chose the music because the video reminded me of old public service announcements at the cinema. Feel free to use it for your class. If you have suggestions for the video, just contact me.
