First the class did a peer review activity on the Progressive Era essay. Students highlighted key words that the topic sentences of body paragraphs had in common with the thesis statement. Students also received other feedback from peers.
Students then turned in their essay drafts.
Next Mr. Zartler introduce a new unit:
Class listened to this song, written and performed by Edwin Starr called "War." We also watched the Tom Jones version. Students wrote about whether the question at the core of the song is really a rhetorical one, or if there are appropriate times for warfare.
The class learned that America has alternated by isolationists and interventionists periods in foreign policy.
We briefly discussed the developing situation in Ukraine.
Students considered the aphorism: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." We connected this idea with the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.
Students then turned in their essay drafts.
