Teacher Intercedes, Uses Extended Metaphor

Hi Ladies,

Welcome aboard Knox Air. Can I just say right here and right now how much I enjoy our tiny class. You ladies are killin' it!
On to the homework: So Chapter 3 in '20th Century' recaps what each of you talked about in your speeches and what I covered last week in Germany. Thus, we should be able to fly through this chapter at a cruising altitude of 30,000 feet.
The only area where I want to park in a hangar is in America. We need to find out how this country fared during the interwar years.
So for tonight, please answer the questions (all) on page 75. Joelle should have finished these in class and Emma these will be VERY familiar to you as you know the basics already.
Then Monday we will touch down in Italy and sight-see fascism and then do a brief layover in Germany on Tuesday to revisit the Nazi graveyards. I will be providing in flight service of videos and other images to get our imagination going.
Bring your cameras, buckle up and do not recline your seat back (or do, you paid for this trip)

Have an AMAZING weekend!!
