Here is the outline for the beginning of WWII:Download WWII.doc
I did a homework check for the four Georgia governors that you are responsible for: Richard Russell, Eugene Talmadge, Ellis Arnall and Eurith Rivers. You are to read pages 402 to 411. The remainder of the outline will be given to you tomorrow. Remember that you have a test on Thursday on Chapter 11.
Depression Dinner Table skits were presented today and they were excellent! We also saw a short Depression Era photo essay by Walker Evans. Remember that your Georgia New Deal governor sheet is due on Monday. Chapter 11 test is on Thursday. Have a fun week-end!
You were given an outline for the first part of CH 11:3 and an organizer for Georgia's New Deal governors. We went over the outline in class and the organizer is due on Monday. We also saw pictures of some murals that were painted by Depression era artists in post offices around Georgia. Tomorrow we will be looking at photographs from this time. The last half of class was spent in assigned groups writing a skit to explain how the New Deal policies influenced the life and economy of Georgia families. I will be in my room at 8:15 on Friday if you need to come in and work on anything.
At the beginning of class we checked homework from last night. We went over the questions on page 386. We then began our discussion of the Great Depression. You were given an outline of 11:2 that emphasizes the causes of the Great Depression - and then you were to use this information to do a cause and effect flow chart. You are to read pages 391 to 401 and do the questions on page 401.
Extra credit reports were turned in at the beginning of class. We went over the worksheets started in class on Friday - and did a homework check.Assigned today: vocabulary on page 377 (for all of Chapter 11) and political cartoon on trusts/monopolies to explain. Read pages 380 - 386 and do the questions on page 386. I will check the political cartoon tomorrow and we will be working with 11:1 so we probably won't have time to do a vocab check until Wednesday.
Quizzes were returned in class today. If you would like to correct your quiz, come in on Monday morning at 8:15. Be sure to bring your answer sheet with you! We did two worksheets in class today - one on support information in chapter 10 and the other on Jim Crow laws. If these were not finished in class, they are due at the beginning of class on Monday. Also, remember those of you who were doing the biographies of two early civil rights leaders, these are due Monday at the beginning of class! Have a nice week-end!
Quiz today on Chapter 10. Homework is to complete the essay question that is part of the quiz - and you may use your book for this. Don't forget, some of you are doing short biographies of two people for bonus points - this is due on Monday, beginning of class.
At the beginning of class we checked homework (outline). We then watched a PowerPoint and filled in a sheet from the presentation - thank you, Mr. Stanley, for sharing this with us. We then divided into small groups and worked on sentence frames for this section. If not finished in class, these are due tomorrow. Also, you have a quiz tomorrow on chapter 10 - you will not have a test on this chapter. Review the outlines that I gave you, be sure to go over the vocabulary, reread any sections that you feel unsure about, and go over the sheets that we did today in class. If you will miss class tomorrow because of band, I will be here in the morning at 8:15 if you would like to come in and take the quiz - if you can't be here on Thursday morning, I will be in on Friday morning also.
CLASS 2 DID NOT MEET TODAY - YOU WERE TO HAVE PICKED UP YOUR ASSIGNMENT ON MONDAY AFTERNOON OR DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY - IT IS DUE AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS ON WEDNESDAY.
First, in class today we turned in the compare/contrast organizer. We then finished going over the organizer covering business in Georgia - you were to fill in your organizer from the information provided. After that the class divided into groups and read part of an article which we then "jigsawed" together. The article was on Georgia during WWI. Homework - I passed out an outline on WWI section of your text. Remember, there is a quiz on Chapter 10 on Thursday.
