April 22

Sorry, I didn't get  a chance to post on the blog yesterday.



There was a presentation on the presidency of Jimmy Carter today. For the group that delivered this presentation: please post a link to the film you made and the Google Slide presentation on the IB 30/35 wiki on the American Presidents page please. We'll be seeing a presentation on Ronald Reagan on Tuesday. If your group has already done their presentation, you should start working on the Paper 1 Review Google Doc that I've shared with all of you.

I did a quick lesson on positive and negative freedoms today, and then gave you the remainder of the class time to work on your Chapter 8 Key Terms and Questions. Your Chapter 8 work is due on Wednesday, April 27th.

  • study notes on the Vietnam War (see notes package and Vietnam War booklet, and the notes that I sent to you on the Vietnam War)
