Pi Day!

Students watched the Ch. 29 sec. 3 Part 1 Textbook Talkie and the Ch. 29 sec. 3 Part 2 Textbook Talkie videos and answered the corresponding questions. They then answered questions over the Ch. 29 sec. 4 Textbook Talkie.

We discussed yesterday’s questions on rats and lice in the trenches, and then finished All Quiet on the Western Front. Students were then given time to work on a handout over the Battle of the Somme.

We began discussing life in the trenches, and we watched another segment of All Quiet on the Western Front.

Students began to answer questions over the 1979 version of All Quiet on the Western Front. We also discussed changes in warfare with WWI.

We discussed the Balkan Peninsula, and then went over the short term reasons for the start of WWI. Students also answered questions over the CH. 29 sec. 2 Textbook Talkie. We then performed a “play” over the start of the war.

The Ch. 29 sec. 1-3 Questions were collected at the start of class. We answered questions over the Ch. 29 sec. 1 Textbook Talkie, and then students completed the Long Term handout and the MAIN handout. They were also given time to complete handout over the Balkan Peninsula.

We introduced WWI by discussing “if you should always support a friend.” We then went over a metaphor for the start wo World War I. Students were also given time to work on the CH. 29 sec. 1-3 Textbook Questions — due tomorrow.

We finished discussing Meiji Era Japan and finished the Last Samurai video and discussed the questions.

We discussed yesterday’s Samurai v. Knights document questions, and then watched more of the Last Samurai video, as students continued to answer questions.

Watch the video over weapons of the Samurai and Knights, and then use the given documents to answer the question set. You may answer the questions on your own notebook paper, or print off a copy of the questions. Bring your answers to class tomorrow.
