SS11/12-Feb. 6

Today, we reviewed/worked on what is expected of you when you complete your 'cue cards' for every unit.  You are expected to be completed your first set on the Pre-War unit by tomorrow at the beginning of class.  You also received your 'Study Guide for WWI', complete with the Vocabulary words for your next Cue Card Assignment (remember-I advise you do 5 a night, then you won't panic at the end to complete them).

WWI-We looked at the background to the breakout of WWI-Why did it happen?  I showed you a PowerPoint and you used your textbooks as our 'base knowledge.'  From there I broke you in to groups and gave you a 'real-life scenario' that utilizes the 4 main reasons for WWI (Nationalism, Militarism, Alliances and Imperialism).  You needed to create a creative ending in your group for the real-life scenario and compare it to WWI.

For tomorrow--be READY for more WWI.  We will look at the 4 reasons a little more in detail and formulate a timeline of events for the lead up to war.
