LET THE WALLS COME DOWN!
 ASSIGNMENT SHEET

        Our class has been discussing the different types of “Walls” that we build in this world both visible and invisible. We have heard about “The Great Wall of China”, “The Berlin Wall”, and the ‘Western Wall” and the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial. We have discovered that all of these “Walls” were made for different purposes. We have also reflected on the invisible walls that we all build in our own space- ones that promote discrimination.
