Hey guys - Due to the snow today, class was canceled but homework trudges on...For this week, add the following to your homework for last week - remember last week's and this week's homework will be collected IN CLASS on Monday the 9th:
1. Visit http://americanhistory.si.edu/militaryhistory/ and click on "enter exhibit", then visit the links to WW I and WW II - look over each section carefully and write a half page to a page summary on both the WW I and WW II sections as a whole...what interested you the most, surprised you the most, impressed you the most, etc... For extra credit, visit any and all other war sections and do the same....This is an excellent site with a lot of items of interest and information - it would be a good place to get some extra credit points for your HW grade -- TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY!!!
2. President Obama made an important speech to Marines at Camp Lejeune this past week discussing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Go to http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/feb/28/obama-outlines-withdrawal-from-iraq/ and read the article on his speech and write a brief opinion piece on the president's plans - do you agrree or disagree with them? Visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-erfuHSXW8 to watch the last ten minutes of the president's speech - I think you will find it VERY interesting - let me know what you think in a brief paragraph
3. Visit http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/w1frm.htm and read ANY 3 articles on WW I and write a brief summary of what you read - you can do as many more as you want for extra credit...
