End of the quarter is near!!! Grades are final with a few exceptions....everything from here on out will go on 4th quarter.
Next class we will have a mini test before moving on to our next exciting topic, one of my VERY favorites. Please bring your notes and any assignments we have completed in class on Thursday. Today we reviewed World War II concepts. Today was most entertaining as we debated the ethical questions, "Do the ends justify the means?" After evaluating your moral ground, we connected this to history and debated the pros and cons of dropping the atomic bomb to end World War II. If you missed today, there is a make-up assignment that you can get from me. Notes are below:
With the Nazi's pressing to obtain Soviet territory, the Allies opened up a second front along the coast of France at Normandy. Today we examined the courage and heroism of these soldiers who turned the tied of war and recaptured Western Europe. If you were absent - Copy the notes below
WWII is commonly referred to as a total war, meaning the lives' of American citizens were impacted in every way imaginable. From what they ate to what they wore; the war changed everything. Today we examined how the American people responded to this crisis and the patriotism they exhibited.
If you were absent you will have an assignment to make up, which must be completed in class during AIP or before or after school. ***All late work or extra credit is due on TUESDAY! *** Following the attack by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor, racism and fear drove the government to issue Executive Order 9066 forcing over a hundred thousand Japanese Americans into internment camps across the country. Today we debated the decision FDR made in ordering this relocation by looking at primary sources and evaluating them as historians. *If you were absent* Come see me for the assignment you missed. Because it requires resources to complete, you will have to come in during AIP or before or after school to make it up in my classroom. Notes are attached below:
Despite America's best efforts to remain neutral, President Roosevelt recognized our need to help the Allied nations as Germany's power grew stronger. He slowly chipped away at the Neutrality legislation in an attempt to strengthen the democratic nations of the world. Simultaneously, Japanese aggression grew in the Pacific leading to the "day of infamy," December 7, 1941. America was attacked. War was at hand. Notes are attached below
Once again, when world war broke out, America remained neutral hoping to avoid getting into the conflict. Despite their best efforts, it was only a matter of time before the "sleeping giant" woke up! Today we did an inquiry lesson that required you to be the historian and analyze primary documents that depict America's stance leading up to the war.
If you were absent - come see me for the work. NO NOTES TODAY! With the world in economic downturn, citizens in many nations were ready for a leader who would promise change. In our country, FDR was chosen with his promise of a New Deal. However, in other not so fortunate countries, the promise of a better future came at a great cost. Today we will examine the circumstances that brought about the beginning of WWII, the rise of Hitler and his domination of Europe. The power point is attached below. (Just copy the underlined portions)
