April 12

I just realized that I forgot to post this on Friday. Sorry for the delay...

We met in Room 121 to watch an A & E Biography of Malcolm X. Please remember that you have your Civil Rights Movement Test on Monday. You also have your Paper 3 on the Civil Rights Movement on Thursday, April 18th.

Make sure that you review your IB command terms again! Here are some possible questions from previous IB Exams:
  • What were the successes of the civil rights movement from 1950-1964 and how were those successes obtained?
  • What were the successes and failures of the civil rights movement between 1954 and 1964?
  • Explain the development of the civil rights movement in the 1950’s.
  • To what degree had it achieved its objectives by the time of the March on Washington in 1963?
  • How were the philosophies and tactics of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X different and what caused those differences?
  • Why had the civil rights movement come to dominate national attention by 1964?
  • What impact did the Black Power Movement have on the Civil Rights Movement?
  • Compare and contrast the strategies of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.
  • What factors contributed to the urban riots post 1964?
  • The civil rights movement had achieved most of its basic goals by 1965. To what degree do agree with that statement?
  • Overall would you characterize the civil rights movement as a unified or dis-unified movement?
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of the NAACP’s strategy from 1950-1968.
I finished off the "Origins of the Cold War" PowerPoint presentation today. I will send it to you this weekend. Please remember that your Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions are due on Thursday, April 18th.

We watched a documentary video from the History's Turning Points series called "The Atomic Bomb" today, and we also started watching "White Light/Black Rain" which covered the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We'll finish off the video next week. As you were watching "White Light/Black Rain" you were supposed to be completing a film study sheet.
