Brewer US History 19/20

The Quizlet due today (T. 3/17) at 2 pm concludes the assignments we were already doing in-class.

Starting TOMORROW (Wed. 3/18), we will shift gears into our new “for now” format. Expect regular updates via iBlog, primarily, but also through Remind. Google Classroom may be used to give further directions/turn-in assignments. iLearn will remain our “online classroom” in terms of text and video resources. Good Job staying on top of things, everyone!

I will track your assignments in Student/Parent Connect and you should also check for accuracy. This is new for ALL of us, and we must be patient with one another.

We will stay with Unit 7 (Chpts 18/19): The Cold War 1950s. You know the Vocab (TEST POSTPONED UNTIL BACK IN-PERSON). Now, you will watch the videos, read a bit more, and take short quizzes that demonstrate comprehension. ALL of this is available on iLearn, but I will post links here, as well, and DUE DATES!

Wed. 3/18-Fri. 3/19: Chapter 18 Content (see below)

Videos: Start of the Cold War (1), The Korean War (2), McCarthyism (3), Hollywood Blacklist (4)

Fri. 3/20: Comprehension Quiz OPEN on ILEARN at 8 am and closes at 2 pm

More details to follow SOON, but I will create Questions directly from the resources shared here.

Hello to ALL, and welcome! As we begin to learn together in a new way (for now), I am sure you all have questions. I will do my best to address and answer them all.

As always, stay patient. Stay kind. And we will do the best we can, together, as we navigate our way through a truly HISTORY-MAKING moment in time.

Above all, be well. And continue to do your work/stay smart. Our brains will thank us for it, in the long-run!

If you have questions/concerns, I will be checking email/Remind regularly so please do not hesitate to ask!

• A month long battle fought in the Allies’ territory between Great Britain/France and Germany. In a last effort to retain control of Europe, Hitler’s forces created a “bulge” in the Allies’ front. The fighting was bloody and lasted one month, in which the Nazi forces lost soldiers and weapons they could not replace.
