Been a LONG Time

Wow - I forgot to save my last update.  So, here is what we did last week (and so far this week):

April 18:  You worked on a handout titled "France vs Germany" and used the iPods to fill out as much as possible.  It is due Friday April 29th.  On the BACK of this same handout, there is a worksheet that you can complete for extra credit.  Watch Paths of Glory and fill in the chart.

April 19th & 20th:  Class missed due to 100 Strong event.

April 21st:  Took notes based on lecture in order to answer the following questions:
How have the legacies of imperialism and conflict shaped our world?
What were the causes, course, and consequences of World War I?


April 22nd:

April 25th:  More World War I.  For the day, I presented the newer tools/weapons of war:  Machine Gun, Submarine, Airplane, Poison Gas, Tank.  You also learned about why the US hesitated and then joined the fight.


April 26th:  Video about Russia & the Red Baron.  You took notes and then answered the following questions:

1. How do you think it felt to be freed after a life of serfdom?
2. How do you think it feels to be a soldier in the trenches?
3. Why was the Red Baron so famous?
4. Why is the mystery surrounding the Red Baron’s death still so intriguing?
5. What was the Red Baron’s fatal mistake?
6. Was the Red Baron’s death important to the war as a whole?
7. How did Russian sentiment change over the course of World War I?
8. What are the pros and cons of communism?

You should be reading Chapter 23 at home.  There will be a test on World War I and Russia on Friday.

Plan on completing a map on Thursday after looking at results of WWI on Wednesday.
