Welcome, April and Nathan!

Today we gained two new students! Welcome, April and Nathan, to History 12 with Mrs. Loconte; it's looking like a fun semester :)

In class, we reviewed the terms and ideas we learned in chapter one of Global Forces, such as autarky, hegemony, nation-state, reach, and realpolitik. After that, we selected movies for our movie project. We then reviewed yesterday's homework about the turn of the century: advancements in communications and transportation greatly forwarded globalization; women suffragists fought for enfranchisement; most people were farmers and many moved to the US in search of a better life. Continuing on, we watched some videos giving insight into the Belle Epoque and the lifestyle disparities between the rich and poor before WWI.

Today's homework:

  • Read to page 27 in Twentieth Century Viewpoints and answer the four questions found there. 
  • Read a couple of stories from the Everyday Sexism Project: https://everydaysexism.com/
  • For April and Nathan: read chapter one of Global Forces and prepare for a quiz on Monday.
Have a great weekend! Don't get lost in the rain!
