Week 4-4/20-4/24

Students have 3 assignments this week about the Nuremberg Trials

  • Newsela article- Nuremberg Trials Recordings

  • Freckle article and questions --Holocaust War Criminals

  • Quizizz Review (THIS ASSIGNMENT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED LAST)

The link for each assignment is posted under the classwork tab on Google Classroom. I know there were some issues last week with Freckle and some devices so there is a digital copy of the Freckle article posted in Google Classroom. Students DO NOT need to complete the assignment in Freckle. Students will need to open the Google form and answer the questions AFTER they have read the Freckle assignment.

The video lesson for this week will be posted as well. Students may use this for reference as needed for any assignment.

All assignments will be released today, Monday 4/20 with a due date of Friday, 4/24.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope you all have a great week.

Spring Break--4/13-4/17

No assignments will be posted this week.

Week 3-4/6-4/9 (Friday 4/10 is Good Friday so there is no school)

This week students only have one assignment. I have made a video explaining the assignment for this week that is posted under Week 3 in Google Classroom but I will post it here for your convenience.

In Google Classroom there is a video students must watch as well as some questions that correspond with the video. They must watch the video BEFORE they answer questions. The assignment is automatically graded for the students. Each question will have the time in the video the answer can be found. For example, question 8 looks like this--- Who wrote letters to President Roosevelt about Nuclear Fission in Germany? (7:23) This means that this answer can be found at 7 minutes 23 seconds in the video.

As always please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.


Week 2-3/30-4/3


This week students have 3 assignments:

Newsela article-US versus Japan

Freckle article and writing assignment- Japanese Militarism

Freckle article and writing assignment-Pearl Harbor


The link for each assignment is posted under the classwork tab on Google Classroom. There is a Google Form for each Freckle assignment. Students will need to open this form and answer the questions AFTER they have completed each Freckle assignment.

Students will also find 2 power points listed under this week. These are just for review. They are the same ones we did about WWII right before everything got crazy. They can view them as needed to assist with this week's assignments.

All assignments will be released today, Saturday, 3/28 with a due date of Friday, April 3rd.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope you all have a great weekend.
