World History


Well, its finally here.  The Nine Week period you've all been waiting for.  We will spend time studying World War I, World War II and my personal favorite...the Cold War.  I hope you all are as excited as I am!!!

We are completing the Holocaust Web Quest this week.  If this doesn't make the Holocaust a very personal story to you...I'm not sure what will.  The Web Quest assignments must be turned in by the end of class on Tuesday.  Your test on World War II will be Wednesday and then we will watch Nuremberg, a made for television movie that chronicles the true story of the Nazi war criminals tried by the Allies for crimes against humanity.  Then...HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

One of the best sites for the art work on Activity 5 can't be linked for some reason, but the URL is:

Don't forget about your news stories for bellwork!!!!

NEWS FLASH

I am now offering tutoring and the opportunity to make up quizzes and tests every Tuesday afternoon until 5:30.  Every World History student is welcome regardless of the teacher.  If you need me to stay later...just ask!!
