Vernal Equinox!

We discussed yesterday’s article on the Middle East and the Sykes-Picot Agreement at the start of class. Students then completed questions on a chart over America’s deadliest wars. They were then given time to write a “letter from the trenches.”

Students took the CH. 29 Test in class. When they finished, they were given time to work on the “How the Middle East Got That Way” article and questions.

The Ch. 29 sec. 4 Questions were checked and discussed. Students completed the WWI Peace Agreements handout and received a copy of the CH. 29 Study Guide. Ch. 29 Test tomorrow!

We went over the answers to Friday’s Battle of the Somme handout, and then discussed the USA’s entry into WWI, including the Zimmerman Telegram. We also discussed the end of the war and the Spanish Flu. Students were then given time to work on the CH. 29 sec. 4 Textbook Questions — due tomorrow.
