4/27/2018

0 Comments

 
Today we finished new material!

Specifically, we finished our work on the Reagan administration and discussed major events from the 90s/00s.  Most significantly for the 21st century, students should pay attention to the impact of September 11, 2001 on both domestic and foreign policy.

I've included all PowerPoints used in class the past two days below.  Start reviewing this weekend.  Two more weeks!
