Big Ideas of WWI

Today in class we began to explore the big ideas of World War I.  You can see what we discussed below:

We are going to begin focusing on our research papers again this week and will also be taking on another project about trench warfare soon.  Stay tuned for more information on both assignments!

The Vocabulary of WWI

Today in class we began to take a look at the various "-ism's" that are part of WWI.  Most importantly, this included nationalism, militarism, and imperialism.  We began to explore what we knew (or didn't know) about these words today and are going to read about them tonight.

Students either need to read the beginning of the Lesson 17 handout or the entire Blue Textbook reading assignment, depending on what they were given in class.

The Ending of the Civil War

The last couple of days we have talked about the ending of the Civil War.  You can see what we discussed below:

I also handed out a timeline of the Civil War for student reference:

Tomorrow we are going to look at the Lincoln assassination and then begin to review next week in anticipation for a Civil War Quiz on  Friday.  Study guides will be coming shortly!

First Day Back

We survived our first school day of 2017.  Today we took a quick look at our outlines as well as talking about continuing our research projects the rest of the year.  We are wrapping up the Civil War and students had one of two writing assignments to read for Wednesday.  Those can be found here and here.  We will hopefully be moving quickly on to the World Wars before the end of January!
