Today's class was spent watching a video on WWII.  

Remember the the following sections are assigned for Chapter 33:

1. Becoming a Good Neighbor
2. Congress Legislates Neutrality
3. Bolstering Britain
4. A Landmark Lend-Lease Law

Also remember that you need to be through Chapter 35 the day we get back from break.

I'll be at the John Collins Folder Review tomorrow, use the period to complete chapter readings are study for the SAQ test on Thursday.  The range of years for the questions is 1870-1930.
​

Today's class started with a brief video that introduced FDR and the New Deal. Students then worked on a chart where they organized New Deal programs into Relief, Recovery and Reform.  A description of two programs was needed for each category.

I've included a PowerPoint below if you'd like something more in depth on the causes of the Great Depression.

We started class today by finishing the video on the Scopes Trial.  Students then had a Type 2 over assigned readings and we then discussed the changes of the 1920s and the Causes of the Great Depression.

Reading for Thursday is 742-766.
​

Today in class (after a quick Type 2) students took notes on the major developments of the 1920s.  The PowerPoint is included below.  We'll finish this tomorrow.

We then did a practice 15 minute blind DBQ period.  We will discuss the process and the document tomorrow.  Remember, the current chapter needs to be finished by Thursday.

The beginning part of class today was taken with housekeeping tasks (passing back papers, showing students their final grade and talking about 3rd trimester expectations).

We then went over the Final Exam and started our 1920s Notes.  By Thursday, you need to be finished with Chapter 30.

​

I've included the PowerPoint from our sectional conflict (1850s) material if you want to use it to help you study.

Students had the first 15 minutes of class to finish their Progressivism political cartoon.  We then looked at a number of visuals from Chapter 28 to reinforce important developments during the Progressive Era.

We then started a PowerPoint on the important developments of WWI (included below).  The pages assigned for tomorrow are the last assigned pages of the trimester.  The 3rd trimester starts with the 1920s.

Today in class we broke the remaining nine documents on the Progressivism DBQ into two mini-DBQs.  For each set of documents students analyzed their content and considered what developed analysis they would integrate and how they would be used in the context of their essay.  We also used these documents as a springboard to discuss the successes and limitations of the Progressive movement.

Students then had the remaining time to start a political cartoon that illustrated an important development during the Progressive movement with a short description on the back of the issue and any resulting change.

The reading for tomorrow (638-655) as been moved to Friday.
