Hey everyone!
Today we watched videos of events that took place during the cold war (like about 5 of them); this took the majority of class time. We then finished the class by writing our third and final quiz on the cold war.

Tonight's Homework: Read Pages 153-161 (not page 158) of Global forces and answer #'s 1-6 on pages 172-173.

At least we made it through Vietnam

Today in our first short block, we took the second Cold War quiz (I won't say anything else for Ingram's sake). In the second block, we briefly reviewed the Cuban Missile Crisis then moved onto a discussion of the homework questions on the Vietnam war. We will discuss Afghanistan on Monday.

Homework:

1) Cold War Quiz #3 is moved to TUESDAY!
2) Read to page 173 (Twentieth Century Viewpoints) and answer all questions
3) Oral reports from Dylan, Ingram, April, and Nathan are due at the end of next week. Hopefully you know your topics, cause I don't.

Review sheets were handed out, but not assigned as homework.

Enjoy Endgame and the long weekend, everyone!

Hi guys this is Brian's post againnn

In today’s class we took our first of 3 quizzes and went over some of the homework questions from previous classes. Prepare for another quiz tomorrow on pages 149-159. Also, where applicable, remember to do your oral reports on your assigned reading. Finally, start considering what movie you would like to write your review on for the second term.

Short Week

You are taking some time to re-do your quiz,

Officially Less Than a Term Left of High school! :D

Today in class we finished movie reviews, listening to Brian, April, Ingram, Amy, and Deirdre's presentations. This took the majority of class time, so we ended with only 15 minutes to review for the WW2 test. We covered the causes, main events, and what came out of WW2, as well as vocab and major characters of the war. Make sure you review all these things for the test!

Tonight's Homework: Study for the World War 2 Test tomorrow!

Wednesday: Current events quiz (this was moved from today. Thanks Mrs. Loconte!)
Thursday: World War 2 song presentations are due


Maybe start thinking about which movie you will watch for this term's movie review.

Have mercy on us as you mark, Mrs. Loconte!

Today in History 12, well, I'm not sure we did at the very beginning of the class, but when I came in, the class was watching videos of major WWII events. We then discussed the homework questions on the Holocaust and finished reading Chapter 4 (20th Cent.). After lunch, we worked on our WWII song projects while Mrs. Loconte gardened. This was followed by 2 and a half movie reports from Nathan (Churchill), Dylan (Saving Private Ryan), and Brian (The Imitation Game). We will pick up movie presentations with Brian's video clip on Monday.

Homework

Answer all questions on page 131 (20th Century Viewpoints)--due Monday.
