There will not be any new articles posted during Spring Break but if you would like to send me past articles and/or missing work we would be happy to accept it. Your next set of articles will begin being posted on Monday April 13^th. Thank you for the work that you’ve been doing. Enjoy your break and we’ll talk to you soon.  

This Weeks Reflection:

This week we have posted one article each day examining the impact of the Cold War and the ways in which the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in social, political and scientific battles. For your closing assignment this week we want you to select one of the articles that we posted (I’m going to repost them below) and compete the reflection sheet posted in the supplemental materials section. You can save the document as a word document, google doc (you can type right in the document) or print out the paper write your answers then take a picture and email it to me. Once you have finished and saved your reflection please email it to me at murrayr@dearbornschools.org by Monday April 6^th, at 9:00 am.
