March 24


We watched a video today called "Blitzkrieg to the Bomb" which covered WWII in about an hour. I gave you a note package to go along with this video so you didn't have to take notes during the video. Please make sure that you read over those notes! You have your Chapter 5-6 Test tomorrow, please see the study guide here.


You wrote your Unit 2 Written Response Assignment I today. With the time remaining in class, we watched a bit of "The Fatal Attraction of Adolf Hitler". Your Economic Systems Test is tomorrow, please see the study guide here. Also, your Chapter 5 Questions are due on Friday, and when you come back from Spring Break you will be writing your Chapter 5 Test (please see the study guide below).


The Chapter 5 Test will be on Wednesday, April 7th. It is a 70 multiple choice question test. Since we're writing this test on Wednesday, you'll have 85 minutes to write it.
