Are there any teacher materials for Sunrise Over Fallujah?

The web has plenty of resources for Myers' book.  I think
that the link below is a good starting point.  Having said this, I strongly suggest that
these should be only seen as a guide.  While they might have been field tested with
other groups of students, what is out there seems vague and imprecise in terms of
working with specific students.  The teacher knows their students the best, and I think
that being able to use these resources is good, but their use has to be contingent on
being able to fully grasp how the specific teacher's students will understand the book
and the themes or ideas from it.  Certainly, these can be a starting point.  The ideas
of social justice, moral and professional responsibility, and the notion of war, in
general, are all excellent ideas from the book.  Yet, in seeing the lesson plans out
there, I strongly encourage you to modify what is there to match what you have with your
students.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
