Explanation:

OVERVIEW

Love and war may seem like opposites at first; but they hold a complex relationship, especially for those individuals who are involved directly in the events occurring at a time of war. In this unit, students explore this relationship by examining texts on camaraderie among soldiers. After viewing a video on the topic and reading the short story "How to Tell a True War Story" by Tim O'Brien, students use freewriting as a means to develop a thesis statement stating their belief on the relationship between love and war. They then compose a visual collage depicting those beliefs.

This lesson was developed as a companion for The Mystery of Love a PBS documentary featured in the lesson. For additional information on the documentary and those who made it possible see The Mystery of Love Website.
