February 3

IB 30/35

I showed a documentary that was produced by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum called "The Path to Nazi Genocide" at the start of the class. I then started a lecture on the Holocaust, which I almost finished. You can read over the last few slides by checking out this Google Slides presentation on the IB History wiki (it's on the Causes and Effects of 20th Century Wars page). I forgot to give you the three source interpretation assignment in class today, so please remind me tomorrow to give  it to you (it's due on Friday). Tomorrow, we'll start of film study of "Schindler's List".

I introduced the course to you today, and gave you a friendly letter homework assignment, which is due on Wednesday. The letter will probably be about 1 1/2 pages in length (single-spaced). Please make sure that your letter demonstrates your writing ability and covers some of the following topics:

• family
• education plans (this year, and in the future; future career plans)
• post-high school plans
• favorite TV shows, movies, music
• hobbies
• extracurriculars
