January 8



You wrote Part A of your Final Exam today in class. Please remember that you have your Unit 3 Final Exam tomorrow. You can find the study guide for this exam here.


I showed you where to find the study guide for the Trial Final and the Diploma Exam on the Social 30-1 wiki. We looked at a few examples of WRA I assignments as well. Please attempt either the Social 30-1 or the 30-2 Quest A+ practice exam tonight. You are writing your Trial Final tomorrow.


I showed you another documentary from the BBC 20th Century History series, today's episode was called "Britain Alone". We also watched a bit of "Pearl Harbor" so you have an idea of how the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii led to the American entry into the Second World War.

January 7

Yesterday, we discussed the causes of World War II, and then started watching a video from the BBC 20th Century History series called "Why Appeasement?" We finished this documentary today. We then watched "Blitzkrieg to the Bomb" which should have given you a nice overview of how the war was fought in all of the theatres of war.


You wrote your Unit 3 Final Exam yesterday, and so you got the results back today. You had to make a decision as to which exam result you would wipe out with Thursday's Trial Final Exam. If you want a study guide for the Trial Final Exam, there is a Diploma Exam Study Guide posted on the wiki that you could use. You can find this study guide on the Social 30-1 wiki under Diploma Exam Review.


For all of class yesterday you completed a Unit 4 pair practice test. We continued with Unit 4 multiple choice questions again today, and then moved on to Unit 3 questions. I did a homework check on your Chapter 14 and 15 Key Terms and Questions today. Please remember that your Chapter 16 Key Terms and Questions are due on Friday, January 10th. Please remember that Part A of your Final Exam, a WRA II Essay is tomorrow in the Red Lab in the Library. Please go there directly tomorrow morning. Your Unit 3 Final Exam is on Thursday, January 9th, please see the study guide here.
