Enrichment Credit Op. for APUSH students

Mr. Snyder — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 13:37:16 +0000

The attached document below displays various early civil rights court cases. Select 1 of the cases to complete letters A-E and the synthesizing questions. Create a powerpoint or prezi that addresses all parts. Send the finished powerpoint/prezi to me via email at canada.snyder@dmschools.org by 2:30pm, Friday, May 4. If you attempt to send it, and I cannot open it or it does not work, it will NOT count for credit. The earlier you send it and I can verify that it worked, the better. If you send it at 2:20 on Friday and it does not work, there will be NO time to resend or retry, so plan ahead.

Chapter 28 FOCUS Question

Mr. Snyder — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:31:23 +0000

Historians tend to portray the 1950s as a decade of prosperity, conformity,

and consensus, and the 1960s as a decade of turbulence, protest, and

disillusionment. Assess the validity of this statement.

APUSH Students ALERT! Syllabus change!

Mr. Snyder — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 13:21:10 +0000

I am altering the APUSH syllabus. For the week of 4/16, you need to read pp. 1049-1069 & 1078-1087 in your text. These pages concern Johnson and Nixon’s foreign policies during the Cold War and specifically speak to Vietnam. We will take an OPEN note test over chapters 26-27 and these pages around April 23/24. Then, we will discuss important SOCIAL, domestic changes for two weeks. These social changes are found in chapter 28 and on pp. 1070-1078. Please have this read by 4/26-4/27. If you are presenting on chapter 28 you will present April 30/May 1. If you are presenting on chapter 29, you will present on April 19/20. Zinn questions over chapter 18 will be OPTIONAL and enrichment credit due April 19/20. Zinn questions over chapter 17 (civil rights) will be DUE April 30/May 1 for required credit. The top 40 events quiz will still occur Thursday, April 19/Friday, April 20. I do believe this is a positive change and will greatly increase your understanding of the Cold War and its changes over time. I also believe taking more time on the civil rights movements and social changes will be more beneficial to you. Thanks for adapting to the changes and I’m looking forward to your great questions about US history in the second half of the 20th century which is now commonly referred to as “America’s Century.” Cheers, Mrs. S
