An entirely different and lesser level, I know, but I used to make mission packs for a somewhat popular game and I’d often blank out (or usually write “redacted “) the place names.
One major reason was that the maps didn’t actually fit the area I was trying to represent. I just used existing maps and pretended they were somewhere else.
The other was that I kept basic historical facts accurate to the timeline (types of aircraft, the general flow of the battle, etc) but took creative liberty with the details, so it was helpful being able to fudge stuff. I rationalized it by saying that people undergoing the experience wouldn’t necessarily know the significance of the time and place. e.g. a soldier going to Stalingrad as the battle started wouldn’t have known it was going to be so incredibly horrendous (well, they probably could have guessed).

If you’re going to do essays or any kind of writing, I think this is the only way to do so, if you actually want to assess how well the kids write (I’m especially thinking in an ESL context).

I disagree with most of your post but do agree about that Kenari stuff. I assume it’s going to become relevant again.

I don’t actually know what that word means, but it must be obscene. You have somehow defiled that turkey.

I assume those numbers are fatalities, right?

Truly inspiring. Would you come to my school to address the students?

Dunno, but the school I work at in Japan has them in the cafeteria and they’re so good.
