March 2nd through March 18th

We are rushing to get to Chapter 26 by Spring Break.

On Thursday, March 4, we will discuss Imperialism across chapters 23-25. Students will learn about the Berlin Conference of 1884, when the "Scramble for Africa" began. They will watch the brief documentary Zulus at War. If we have time we will discuss the poem "White Man's Burden."

On Monday, March 7th we will finish discussing Imperialism. I will hand out a test. On Wednesday, March 10th both the Imperialism Test and the Questions on White Man's Burden will be due.

On Wednesday, we will begin learning about the causes of World War I. Students are to do the questions on Chapter 25 and 26. They will be due on Monday, March 14th. On Monday, March14th , I will be lecturing all day on World War I. On Wednesday, we will cover the period of the 1920's and on Friday, students will be given a work day to do questions on Chapter 27. The Age of Catastrophes.

Students will have homework over the break--I will be giving them an AP exam which they are to do (open book--or with assistance from the Mothership).
