Most of today's class was spent writing your World War II Unit Exam. We'll continue our examination of the Cold War tomorrow, by looking at the formation of rival alliances (NATO, OAS, SEATO, and the Warsaw Pact), and start looking at the Cuban Missile Crisis.

We started the Cold War today. I gave you some notes on the board about the origins of the Cold War, and gave you the "big picture" by giving you a timeline of the key events of the Cold War, from the 1940s to the 1990s. We also looked at a map of Europe post-WWII, and how the rival military alliances of NATO and the Warsaw Pact divided up the continent. We watched a short video called "We Didn't Start the Fire", and I gave you a booklet on the Cold War. Busy day!Please remember that you have your Interwar Years-WWII Exam tomorrow, so please study for it. Here is a link to the study guide.

We continued preparing for Written Response Assignment II (Part A of your Final Exam this year) by looking at how you should approach analyzing quotations. You were a list of quotations that pertained to Unit 2 and had to select a few of the quotations for analysis. You have your Chapter 7-8 Test tomorrow, so please use the study guide to review for this exam (scroll down to find it).
