April 9


We watched Episode 5 of the PBS series "Eyes on the Prize" today. This episode was called "Mississippi: Is This America?" and centered obviously on the civil rights struggle in the state of Mississippi. Please make sure that you complete your answers to this episode and hand them in tomorrow. I did a homework check on Episode 4 questions to "Eyes on the Prize" today as well as your major U.S. Civil Rights Movement assignment.

I started a PowerPoint lecture today that covered the Holocaust and the Nuremberg Trials. I finished most of the lecture today. We also drew lots today and you drafted topics of interest from Unit 2. One week from today you will get one period of research in library. If you think that you will need more time to research, start doing research now on the topic that you picked.

Most of today's class was spent writing your Chapter 5 Test. You will get the results of this test tomorrow. Tomorrow you will be writing a matching quiz on Nazi Germany. Please see the study guide below.


This quiz is a short matching quiz, with a word bank. This quiz will be written on Wednesday, April 10th. What you'll have is a list of key people, key terms and key events associated with Nazi Germany (this is your word bank) and then you'll have a description that you'll have to match it up with. Here's a list of possible key terms that you might see on this quiz:
  • anti-Semitism
