Girl, I feel ya. I think it's a dumb assignment, too, especially since this "occupation" has gone on for over 2 years now. Every project and assigment, military memorial powerpoint and death toll pictograph has been signed dated, copyrighted, and archived by now.
Plus, I think teachers only tell you to tell them what you think so they can keep up on their arguing skills. They like nothing more than to prove that a student "isn't thinking critically, digging deeper, attacking the subject."
By the end of it, you're thinking "blah, blah, blurb, blah." You turn that in, the teacher corrects it with "blurb blah blah blurb" and the discussion in class before and after is "blah bush blurb blah blurb." There you have it: the neverending cycle.
