May 31


After doing a few "housekeeping" tasks at the beginning of class, we moved into the main activity for the day. You were split into four groups, and as an individual you were to create 5-7 sets of "Find the Fib" statements. As a group, you were to select 5-7 of your best sets, and then choose someone to type them up and send them to me by e-mail. We will play this review game on Monday. Have a great long weekend!! REVIEW!!



Hopefully, in class today you finished off finding the 6Ws for each of the Cold War events listed in the booklet that I gave you last week. You will be having a unit final on the Cold War on Tuesday, June 5th. It will be entirely made up of 30-40 multiple choice style questions. Here is the study guide for this unit final...

Key Terms/Key Concepts/Key Events/Key People:

  • Yalta Conference
  • Potsdam Conference
  • Stalin
  • NATO
  • brinkmanship
  • detente
  • Berlin Airlift
