March 6

Sorry, I forgot to post this yesterday....


We completed our three options debate on the Cuban Missile Crisis. On Monday, we will be starting our examination of the Vietnam War. I will post the Vietnam War lecture on the IB 30/35 wiki this evening.


We watched two videos "Dutch Treat" and "Welfare a la Carte", and while you watched these videos you should have taken point form notes on both. Next Friday (March 13th) you will be writing the Chapter 3-4 Test (Ideological Reaction to Industrialization Test), please see the study guide below.

This test is on Friday, March 13th
