Very interesting to see how all the adaptations are different, such as writing haikus, journal entries or travel brochures. I’ve learned a lot from so many different ways to present!

In the tourism video, I saw their rich nature, medieval castles and architecture (very convincing aspects). I believe they could benefit from including part of the communist era, a dark but historically important and informational time with lots to show from it!

Hadn’t thought about how other countries are in controversy over removing historical communist statues, just like the US is about our historical confederate statues. They are a part of history, but not good history, so what’s the right choice?

Thinking about what Kalanta must have felt moments before lighting himself on fire. Did he know he would attract massive crowds and end up sparking a revolution?

The use of fairytales gives an artistic description and shows themes in a new way. By mirroring Hansel and Gretel, the audience can connect personally to the story and better understand the others’ struggles

Matilda’s poems give a voice to the Lithuanians who died in the holocaust that can’t be replicated by history books. #UWLithCulture

In the novel are the bees fake or real? and are the letters actually exchanged? Sometimes it’s hard to tell fantastic elements from reality #UWLithCulture
