IB 30/35

We finished off the Google Slides lecture on "The Vietnam War" today. You can download a hard copy from the IB 30/35 wiki if you like. We also watched the "Vietnam" episode from the CNN Cold War series as well (with my technical difficulties with the DVD, we didn't see the last 4-5 minutes). If you were in New York City during the last IB Paper 2 exam, you're writing it today after school in Ms. Phui's classroom. In tomorrow's class, we'll be looking at US foreign policy in Latin America from the Kennedy to the Carter administrations. Please make sure that you're ready for Thursday's activity!
