I gave you back the results of your Topic A Unit Exam at the beginning of class. Also, we watched a film called "Make Germany Pay" and completed a film study to go along with it. There were some additional notes to go along with this film study that I wrote on the board as well.

We continued our look at the Holocaust today by watching a video called "Genocide", and then continuing the discussion about common questions about the Holocaust.This weekend would be a great weekend to work on your collaborative inquiry projects.
