After what seems like an eternity due to all the testing last week, we were back at it today in class! Here's what we did:
Learning Targets:
SS.HS.KN.ALT.09: I can identify how technological knowledge and innovation shapes a society, place, or region.
SS.HS.KN.ALT.17: I can explain the process of change and continuity in a society, place or region.
SS.HS.KN.ALT.23: I can describe the influences, impacts and resolutions of historical conflicts.
Soundtrack: “Gone But Not Forgotten” by TQ. Selected because we talked about the "Forgotten War" in Korea today in class. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 4/29/14:
News Brief
Debrief Primary Sources
The Korean War
Unforgettable
News Brief: Taryn had the news brief today and selected this story: CNN.com - The artificial leaf that could power the world. Such an interesting story! Science is so cool. Thanks, Taryn!
Debrief Primary Sources: I gave the class a few more minutes to finish this up, then we started talking about the sources and what they meant for the start of the Cold War. The four sources and worksheets are here:
Please keep this for future reference in class!
The Korean War: This was the first actual war of the "Cold War" period in America. Remember, the term "cold" is used to describe the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union, because we were never actually at war them directly, just in various wars with allies around the world. Here is the presentation I made, if you missed class, or I went too fast (as is definitely possible):
This was a fairly lengthy PowerPoint, I know. I tried to pack the entire history of the Korean War into one presentation. Students were asked to take notes of information that related to the learning targets of the unit (above). Most students did really well with this, it seemed! Thank you! All of the pictures in the PowerPoint are my own - most of them from my trip to Korea in January! I love it when I get to travel to places that I then teach about.
Here is the video that I showed in class, about the geography of the war. It settled back almost exactly where it started, which is another reason people tend to forget about it.
Here is a link which goes over six different stages of the war:
Unforgettable: We did not get to this today. It is possible that we will watch it next class, but we may move on (there is SO much to cover in the Cold War). If you want to watch it, here it is:

Again, I really appreciate your focus, effort, and participation today in class! Presentation days can be super boring, I know. Good questions and involvement make it more interesting for everyone. Thanks!
