Snow Day Updates

First off, spread the word if you see this post. We gotta do some learning even when it's snowing out side.

When you have read up to page 780 (you may skip 755-764)  and watched this video (45 minutes), you will want to watch my overview of the New Deal. I made this thing, it was my first time taping a lecture, but I did it for you. So watch it and pay attention. Hopefully it helps.

There is also this fun(?) interactive on the Dust Bowl that you might find interesting. 

Finally, start work on finishing the chapter on WW2 (reading up to page 796). If I am guessing right, I won't see you (A day) until next Thursday because of the ACT (Tuesday), which means you have plenty of time to read the chapter and take notes. Come to class prepared with questions on WW2.

And also, take some time to enjoy the snow.

Okay, let's try this week over again...

Starting on Monday, 2/23 (A Day).

You'll have a quiz, it will be open-note, same rules apply as before.

Ignore the rest of your calendar, a new/revised one will be posted soon. You will not have a DBQ next week. Instead, you will need to read up to page 780 (you may skip 755-764)  and watched this video (45 minutes) by Friday of this coming week (2/27).

Let me know if there are any questions! And maybe try setting your alarm this weekend, so you remember what it's like to get up early?!

Reminder

Open Note Quiz on Tuesday, you should have read and taken notes up to page 740.

Reminder: If you type your notes, you must have a) had a conversation with me and b) had your parents sign off on each section in order to be able to use them on your quiz.

These are kind of funny, right??? Happy V-day!

DBQ Practice: African-Americans in WWI

Remember, for homework tonight you need to write an introduction and body paragraph in response to these questions:

Why would African-Americans support the war efforts? How were African-Americans in combat affected by prejudice in American society?

Some specifics:

•Introduction must have context and a thesis that answers BOTH questions (can be more than one sentence). It must be clear what topics you will be addressing in your body paragraphs

•Your first body paragraph should include a topic sentence, analysis of 2 documents, and outside information. Explain how the evidence you are giving helps answer one or both of the questions.

Practice makes perfect, and you've got to learn the rules before you can break them. You can do it!
