WWII Codes: Navajo Code Talkers
This week we read about the Navajo Code Talkers. We learned that during WWII the United States military used the Navajo and their language to create an unbreakable code. The Japanese were listening in on all of the American radio signals so codes could not be transmitted through regular radio transmissions. The United States military used wireless radios to send the messages in the Navajo language and the Japanese were not able to break the code.
Our writing assignment this week was to write our own codes. We have attached keys to our codes to help you figure out what our codes are saying. Visit my students blogs and read their codes and comment on their blog with the answer.
Challenge: If you are up to the challenge and figured out my students codes, try writing them a short message using their code.
