U.S. History

I provided a handout with simple definitions of the term "colonialism."  In 4th horu we finished our notes from the 4 readings on the 1915 occupation of Haiti and added notes of big-picture analysis (see reliable classmate).  We continued with viewing clips, taking notes, and discussing the U.S. military intervention in Iraq during the first decade of the 21st century -- see details posted yesterday.  The second clip is also on You Tube by RT media (2013) entitled "No War, No Peace."  Be sure to meet with a classmate to capture the notes added from our discussion that gives additional balance beyond these two clips.  (Overall, it is some complicated food for thought.)  Add your curiosity questions to your CQ page and also consider our EQ and add bullet points to the EQ page.
