Students, Tuesday and Wednesday we will be learning about the Holocaust that took place before and during WWII. Please prepare yourselves by reading and prepping for a somber activity. We will define, discuss, debate, and determine how something like this occurred. Be ready by reading the info found online and in our textbook. This needs to be completed by the next class period (Tues. Jan 15th for A Day, Wed. Jan 16th for B Day).

Schedule for next Friday is as follows:

Take a look at the Progressivism unit and make sure you feel comfortable with the info we've been covering. Below is the guiding question that you will want to be able to answer with the rubric that should be used when answering.

Here's a list that one might follow to give them the best shot at learning the material for AP World this year.

Here's the plan today:

• Finish watching "Freedom Summer", documentary about the summer of 1964 and how Civil Rights became the focus of the nation. While watching, pick 5 questions from below to answer in your notebooks. Be thoughtful and fully answer them.
• When finished watching and answering the questions, review for your test next time by playing a class game of Kahoot on the Civil Rights Era.
• When you finish that, divide yourself off into teams, probably as you're sitting at the tables. Play a game of jeopardy as review. You should be able to keep track of who gets points to make it competitive, if not just go through the questions and answers as review.

Here's the plan today . . .

1. Watch the "How to DBQ" video as a class. Everyone take a few notes as we'll discuss it more on Friday.
2. Either keep working with getafive.com or go to Kahn Academy to review using that site. You can also take a look at the Test Prep tab from the menu on this website . . . it's a work in progress but there's some good stuff on there to help various learning styles.
3. With 10 minutes left in class, watch the "How to LEQ" video as a class . . . notes just like the first one. 
4. Friday plan on working on your writing skills, we'll go over both the DBQ and the LEQ. 

Reminders:

• Keep studying, use your flashcards or quizlets to review the terms from each period.

For anyone interested there is a $1,000 scholarship available in honor of Keaton Smith. Check out the details below:

The end of the term is this Friday, May 9th. I will be out of town Thursday and Friday of this week (sorry about the timing) so that means that all work needs to be in by Wednesday afternoon. If there is a crazy circumstance where you can't get me your late work by Wednesday please get ahold of me and let me know your situation. I will be able to communicate with you all if you're subscribed to my Reminders, if you respond to the texts that I send out then I'll be able to text you back.

All US History students will need to bring their Notebooks to class both tomorrow and Wednesday so I can look through them and give you a grade on them. If you have further questions please contact me.
