Block Day Class 2/23 - 2/24

Homework
Due Friday 
1.) Read Chapter 17 Section 1 to find out what happens after the Missile Crisis.  If you want to, you may read the Epilogue found here.  That is not a requirement, but you need to read something to see how the Missile Crisis turns out.
2.) For an assignment, you have a choice....Political Cartoon or CD Case.  Whichever you choose, it is due on Friday.
See the instructions for the assignment here.

We have a test on Monday
It will cover the sections of chapter 15, 16, and 17 that we have covered in class.

In ClassToday,
Please email me if you have questions.  mr.phillips18
We had an ExCom policy meeting (sort of like a debate, but not really) on the Cuban Missile Crisis.
If you missed class here is what you need to do:
1. Read the introduction to the Missile Crisis...found here
2.  Watch the first 1 minute 35 seconds of this youtube clip
3.  You are members of ExCom...JFK's advisory group.  The Cuban Missile Crisis is developing.  Please Read the following documents one at a time and write answer the questions found at the bottom of each document.  Brief A    Brief B    Brief C
Again, that means...read Document A....answer the questions for document A.  Then read Document B....then answer Document B questions....etc.   Before you read Document C....watch this youtube video.    There are 3 total documents you must respond to (A, B and C). 
 Create a word document or a google document and send it to me when you are done.  Think about and answer the questions thoroughly.  EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWERS IN DETAIL...no one word responses.

4.  Read Chapter 17, section 1 in your textbook to discover what happens as a result of the Cuban Missile Crisis.  You can also read this optional Epilogue.
