Week of April 11

Hello. We are back from a successful four days at Youth Legislature.

Some things to look forward to this week:

• Review Sessions: Monday, Thursday, and Friday (we cannot do Tuesday and Wednesday because of connect group lunches)
• Imperialism notes: I will post the Power Point on a document server by Monday evening
• Quizzes: Daily quizzes will continue on Tuesday
• 19th Century Take Home Test: I will hand this out on Thursday; it will be due next Monday
• This week's curriculum: Consequences of Imperialism (short; Monday); The First World War (Monday-Wednesday); The Russian Revolution and the Soviet Union (Wednesday-Thursday); The Weimar Republic and the Interwar Period (Thursday-Friday); more details to follow
• Homework reading: Please finish questions 1-28 in the packet by fourth block today; the rest for tomorrow
• Tuesday night's homework will consist of Spielvogel continuing questions and a short, interesting reading on Lenin's journey from Switzerland to Russia

That's all for now. We have entered the twentieth century, where we will spend the remainder of our time (the next four weeks). These are exciting times!

Here is a view of what we are leaving behind (A Sunday on La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat, 1884):
