Week of April

My little Hillbillies! How I miss you...Well....I kinda...Whatever...

Here are the plans for this week

1.  You will need your computer and headphones

2.  If you are off-task or Coach Cross has to redirect you, I will dock you ten points for the assignment(s)

3. Do not rush.  You do not get bonus points for going through the Unit Docs as fast as you can.  You can stop Ctrl-F-ing through the Docs.  You learn nothing, you prove you're lazy, and it just plain bothers me a lot.

4. If Coach Cross has to tell me that you misbehaved, were off task, distracted your classmates, or simply were not a pleasure to be around this week...You will not be allowed to use your "A for the Days" on the final.

Roaring 1920s assignment – Click Me for the Unit Doc & Assignment --I would like this assignment typed in MLA format and emailed to me by 4:00 pm on Wednesday, April 10.  All classes regardless if I have them that day.  Zero excuses.  If they simply copy and paste from the document, it will be a zero.  Zero excuses… and I mean ZERO EXCUSES. YOUR OWN WORDS!

---------------------------------    ---------------------------------

Great Depression assignment – Click me for the Unit Doc & Assignment Read through the Unit Doc and answer the 5 Q’s typed and emailed to me.  These are due by 4:00 pm on Friday, April 12.  If they simply copy and paste from the document, it will be a zero.  Zero excuses… and I mean ZERO EXCUSES. YOUR OWN WORDS!

---------------------------------    ---------------------------------

IF…For some reason you finish your work, watch the following flick & get started!

Welcome to the “20th Century Presidential Project.”  After watching the video, please check out the handouts/sheets on the couch & you may begin working on this....

This assignment is due April 19...Depending on the reviews of how class goes, you may or may not have the week I return to work on this project in class. I have prepared other lessons for those days just in case :)

I Love Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!

Imperialism & WWI Test Friday - April 5

Imperialism Unit Q's 1-3 due Mon. April 1

1. What is imperialism, and how did the United States become an imperial nation in the late 19th century?  What is one positive and one negative aspect of imperialism?  Why do you think the United States felt it was important to create an imperial nation?  Do you think they needed to/should have? What territories were added to the United States from 1865-1900?  Do you think imperialism is as simple as saying “invading one nation & conquering the land?”

2. Provide four ways Americans united to support World War I even after President Wilson declared to keep the United States out of war in his 1916 campaign.

3. What did Woodrow Wilson mean when he said he wanted to, “make the world safe for democracy?”  Do you think this was realistic and do you think it was the United States’ place to get involved with that as their goal?

4. How did the government “violate” Americans’ rights and freedoms?  How did this set a precedent for future wars in terms of government censorship?  Do you think the US government had the right to do such things?

5. How were Blacks impacted by World War I?
