U.S. History

Today is the last day to complete any remaining work on Crash Course #35 for a score in my room (assessment) and also to complete remaining work on Crash Course #36 (thirty-SIX) in preparation for tomorrow's Socratic discussion (5 videos to discuss-- CC#30, #33, #35, #36, and the BBC's "The Necessary War), as detailed before we began this series of work.  Most students also began work on creating a one-slide visual page to show the "teams" for WWI:  flag, country name, year entered, and reason entered for all of the Central Powers...and the same for all of the Allied Powers.  There is a spot set up on Google Classroom to do this as a single Google Slide.  Then, do the same for WWII's Axis versus Allies in the separate assignment slot set up in Google Classroom.  (A few students had some other ideas for how to best create their own cheat sheets of the teams -- so, see me if you have an alternate idea.)  We will finish those on Thursday and then we'll discuss together about printing them (on B&W printer) and then using markers or colored pencils to add in necessary color...
