April 12

I just realized that I forgot to post this on Friday. Sorry for the delay...

We met in Room 121 to watch an A & E Biography of Malcolm X. Please remember that you have your Civil Rights Movement Test on Monday. You also have your Paper 3 on the Civil Rights Movement on Thursday, April 18th.

Make sure that you review your IB command terms again! Here are some possible questions from previous IB Exams:
  • What were the successes of the civil rights movement from 1950-1964 and how were those successes obtained?
  • What were the successes and failures of the civil rights movement between 1954 and 1964?
  • Explain the development of the civil rights movement in the 1950’s.
  • To what degree had it achieved its objectives by the time of the March on Washington in 1963?
  • How were the philosophies and tactics of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X different and what caused those differences?
  • Why had the civil rights movement come to dominate national attention by 1964?
  • What impact did the Black Power Movement have on the Civil Rights Movement?
  • Compare and contrast the strategies of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.
  • What factors contributed to the urban riots post 1964?
  • The civil rights movement had achieved most of its basic goals by 1965. To what degree do agree with that statement?
  • Overall would you characterize the civil rights movement as a unified or dis-unified movement?
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of the NAACP’s strategy from 1950-1968.
I finished off the "Origins of the Cold War" PowerPoint presentation today. I will send it to you this weekend. Please remember that your Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions are due on Thursday, April 18th.

We watched a documentary video from the History's Turning Points series called "The Atomic Bomb" today, and we also started watching "White Light/Black Rain" which covered the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We'll finish off the video next week. As you were watching "White Light/Black Rain" you were supposed to be completing a film study sheet.

January 10

You got your Paper 2 Topic 3 essays back today. You also had time to work in your groups for your TOK Moral Dilemmas presentations. You're doing the TOK Moral Dilemmas presentations in class tomorrow.
I did a homework check on your Chapter 18 and 19 Key Terms and Questions. We finished watching the movie "Contagion" today. After watching the movie you had to make Jeopardy questions for tomorrow's review game. Please send your Jeopardy questions to my CBE e-mail address. This is a homework check that needs to be completed tonight before 9 pm.
I showed you an excerpt from the film "Saving Private Ryan" today to illustrate the conditions on the battlefield during the Normandy invasion. Next, I showed you a video from the History's Turning Points series called "The Atomic Bomb" which detailed the creation of the atomic bomb and its usage to end WWII. Tomorrow, we'll get into a film study of "White Light/Black Rain".
