I went through a PowerPoint presentation today on "The Causes of World War I". I have already sent this presentation to your e-mail accounts. Your French Revolution DBA is due tomorrow. You will be doing your Unit 1 WRA I on Friday, so I will re-teach you how to write them tomorrow. Your Chapter 3-4 Test is on Tuesday of next week, please see the study guide here.

We covered a lot of territory today in class.

We watched a couple of videos from the BBC 20th Century History series today, and you took notes on them. We watched "Boom and Bust" and "FDR and the New Deal". I also quickly went through how to analyze political cartoons. You will be doing an in-class assignment on this on Friday 9don't be late for class, because if you are, your choices will be limited).
