History 113: The Atomic Bomb Students have a project due on WWII.  They had a choice of topics/formats.  Most students have these completed and passed in. Tomorrow we will be looking at the American decision to drop the atomic bomb.  Students will have notes and questions to complete.   History 111: The Work Plan I have created a calendar that lays out a work plan for the rest of the semester, to keep us on track and to ensure students know what needs to be done. We are filming a silent movie to meet the outcomes in the curriculum for this unit.  Students will demonstrate understanding of both the destruction and the impact of the war on individuals and society.   History 112: WWI UNIT TEST Tomorrow on World War I   Law 120 Students should complete the chart and scene scenario from the textbook.  Due no later than the beginning of class on Wednesday, April 6th. Next up: Investigation and Arrest!            

Law 120 Students continue to review for a major unit test on Dec 6th.  They have review sheets to work on, sample questions, and a "Pocket Guide" that they should have created to help them with the test.  Tomorrow we will play Jeopardy in class to continue the review.   History 112 Students are completing projects on WWII and also creating test questions, an exercise which helps them choose relevant information, as well as review the major concepts.   History 113 Test on Monday!  WWI and the Holocaust.  Students have worked on review sheets the past couple of days.  Friday will be another review day.

We are studying the inter-war period, in particular how Hitler was able to come to power in Germany.  Students have a worksheet to read, and then 7 questions to complete.  Question number 8 is an extension which asks them to synthesize questions 1-7 into a short informal "essay".  Due tomorrow: Nov 2nd

Law 120 Any students who have not finished their assignment on "Walter and Cecil: You be the Judge" (Ques 12, p.158) should do so for homework.   History 112 The July Crisis: Can you Stop the Great War? Students were placed in small groups and are assigned a country.  They must create a presentation (for Monday, Oct 18th) based on the issues that may be pushing their country into war in July of 1914.  On Tuesday, after all groups have presented, we will hold a "peace conference" to try to prevent war.   History 113 WWI--You Make the Grade Students will make up test questions (and answer those questions) as part of an assessment piece on the Great War.  This allows students to (1) review key concepts and (2) practice selecting what is important in a unit.

No homework!
