Type 2, Docs With a Twist, Essay Possibilities

3/24/2016

0 Comments

 
Today's class started with a Type 2, when then discussed the end of the chapter.  Specifically, our focus was on the rise of organized labor (emboldened by the Wagner Act) as evidenced by the sit-down strike in Flint, the court-packing attempt by FDR, and the criticisms of the New Deal.

After that, we did an activity where students analyzed documents on the New Deal with rotating partners.  It likely was the best moment of student's lives.

We then finished by talking about possibilities for tomorrow's Long Essay.  Included were the following:
  • Progressivism
  • World War I (foreign policy/impact on the home front)
  • 1920s (modern culture & backlash, pro-business Republican policies)

Remember when you study tonight to "study big."  By that I mean that you should not simply concern yourself with memorizing details.  While including evidence in your analysis will be important tomorrow, you also need to think about things like the major turning points during this time period.  How did the different events impact each other?  How did things change?  For whom?  How did they stay the same?  

There are no pages assigned for tonight, use your APUSH time to get ready for the essay tomorrow.  But Chapter 33 needs to be finished by Monday.

​One week until spring break!
