U.S. History


Image result for breakfast club day Happy National Breakfast Club Day!  So, you've done a crash course (literally) on World War I, and that should have given you notes on the big themes as well as some of the details of who is fighting for which reasons, with whom, and against whom.  To clarify some important points about the war in an in-depth, slower pace, please create a new subheading on your E.Q. page, "The Necessary War by the BBC," and then as you view the film, do a Claim & Evidence set up.  Today, view through the first 30 minutes while doing the C&E on the E.Q. page for it.  On Monday the 30th I'll have the instructions posted for the last part of the video and other instructions.  (Later we'll discuss if Crash Course and the BBC agree in their theses or disagree.  First, however, we need careful focus on the BBC film to discern accurately it's thesis and also to capture any new, factual details.)  This is the 2nd and LAST thing we are doing on WWI; so, sink your teeth into and do a thorough job.  To help, there are some helper docs loaded into Google Classroom along with the video.  ; )
