Sophomore Modern World
Monday students will debreif from the activity on Friday (which they did great on, even though we ended up with a stalemate - totally realistic, actually). We will look at a slideshow of WWI from the Trench Warfare perspective, then take some notes on the largest battles of WWI. For homework, students will choose 3 battles and fill out this worksheet.
Tuesday we will delve deeper into the Battle of the Somme, and for homework students will outline 13.3. Fact for the day: Did you know? J.R.R. Tolkein, author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, was a veteran of the Battle of the Somme, and the horrors he witnessed there would inspire many of his tales of Middle-Earth.

Wednesday students will discuss the US entry into the war as well as the Russian exit, and how the war would draw to a close. We will also begin talking about the Paris Peace Conference and Wilson's 14 Points. Enjoy your Christmas break!!!
And here's a true Christmas miracle from 1914...
