The assignment below is your LAST big assignment for this class!!!!!! For the last week of school (June 8-11), I will just have you do an end-of-year survey. We will also have another mandatory class WebEx (next week, not this week). 

Here is a recap of what we have covered during distance learning: 
Week 1: Japanese American Internment in the U.S. during WWII
Week 2: Life on the Home Front during WWII and what life was like for many different groups in the U.S. during WWII 
Week 3: America and the Holocaust 
Week 4: The End of WWII and the Atomic Bombs 
Week 5: The Civil Rights Movement (Key Leaders, Major Philosophies, the 4 "I's" of Oppression) 
Week 6: The Civil Rights Movement through Film
Week 7: The COLD WAR
Week 8: Mini Research Projects 1960s-Early 2000s (The next TWO weeks)

For the next two weeks, you should be working on this assignment (see below) and any missing assignments to ensure that you earn a passing grade for the class AND learn some really amazing things about the country you live in! 

The assignment below asks you to choose from a list of several major events list, do research on that topic, and complete some questions for each topic. The amount of events you choose to write about determines your grade (10 for an A+, 7 for a B+, 4 for a C+...for example). 
There is an example "write-up" for the Friends TV Series but please note that your write-ups DO NOT have to be as long as the example!!! 

This week's assignment is due by Friday, June 5th via CANVAS. 

We will NOT have a WebEx meeting this week but we will have one next week!!! If you have ANY questions, please email me: sarah.warsaw@bend.k12.or.us

We are entering into our 7th week of online learning! Can you believe it? I know it has NOT been easy and I'm SO proud of you for making it this far. We only have a little left to do! 

I LOVE talking about the Cold War! It was a rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union that lasted from the end of WWII to 1991 (about 45 years!!!). It is called "cold" because the US and the USSR never actually engaged in direct military campaigns with each other, instead, they battled through several  "proxy" wars (Korean War, Vietnam War, Congo Crisis, etc.). Obviously, with 45 years worth of events, we can't cover everything BUT this week's lesson covers some of the major conflicts both at home and abroad during the Cold War. 

Here is a recap of what we have covered during distance learning: 
Week 1: Japanese American Internment in the U.S. during WWII
Week 2: Life on the Home Front during WWII and what life was like for many different groups in the U.S. during WWII 
Week 3: America and the Holocaust 
Week 4: The End of WWII and the Atomic Bombs 
Week 5: The Civil Rights Movement (Key Leaders, Major Philosophies, the 4 "I's" of Oppression) 
Week 6: The Civil Rights Movement through Film
Week 7: The COLD WAR (THIS WEEK!) 

Due to AP testing and StuCo interviews, we will NOT have an all-class WebEx meeting this week, but I will continue to be available for help via email: sarah.warsaw@bend.k12.or.us
​
Your assignment is due via CANVAS on Friday, May 22nd.

I hope everyone had a lovely week and weekend and were able to get outside a bit (at a safe distance from other humans). 

Thank you to those of you that turned in your assignment in on Canvas. I will get grades and feedback to you this week (be patient with me as I learn the new task of grading via Canvas...it can't be that difficult, right?!?) Also, if you were unable to turn in last week's assignment or still need to turn in any other missing work from before we left school, continue to email me those assignments: sarah.warsaw@bend.k12.or.us

LAST WEEK, you explored the topic of Japanese American internment in the U.S. during WWII.
THIS WEEK, we will take a closer look at "life on the home front" for several different groups of Americans during WWII. 

You will find this week's assignment attached below. Like last week, please follow the directions and, by Friday, April 17th, turn in the reflection questions via Canvas. 

We will also have another whole group class meeting but this one will be just for 1) attendance and 2) asking any questions you might have. Please pop into our meeting, say hello to me so I can mark you "here" and then, if you have no questions, you're welcome to pop on back out of the meeting and go about your merry day. 

THIS WEEK'S CLASS MEETINGS:
MONDAY: 
4th Period---10:05-10:35am
6th Period---10:45-11:15am

I hope everyone had a good week getting back into this new version of school. Thank you for completing the google form last week letting me know how you are doing! We'll start doing small group WebEx meetings to check in (after this week's whole class meeting) but if you ever need help, please reach out to me via email. We're all in this together! 

While we continue with school online, I will put out these weekly plans by Sunday evening. You are responsible for completing ALL the steps by the end of the week but you can do it on your own time. We will try to meet weekly via WebEx so that I can explain what we are doing that week and answer any questions (and we also get to see each other's faces!). 

THIS WEEK: 

1. Complete any missing assignments from before we left. Go look at your grade in Synergy...if you have a "0", that means that I do not have that assignment from you. Go to my website, find the PDF of the assignment (or search in your school stuff), complete the assignment, and email me a photo of your completed work OR an email with the answers typed out in that email. 

2. If you completed the extra credit I posted from two weeks ago (Podcast: "Nazi Summer Camp"), please email me a photo of your art or of your answered questions. 

3. Join our Class Meeting via WebEx during your designated time (see attached instructions on how to join!) 
MONDAY, APRIL 6: 5th Period: @10:05am 
MONDAY, APRIL 6: 6th Period: @10:45am
TUESDAY, APRIL 7: 4th Period: ​@10:05am

LINK TO JOIN WEBEX: https://bendk12.webex.com/meet/sarah.warsaw

]]><![CDATA[Wednesday, April 1]]>Tue, 31 Mar 2020 19:55:28 GMThttps://www.socialstudieswithwarsaw.com/19-20-daily-class-update/wednesday-april-1Hello My US History Students! 

I miss you all so much! And while it is interesting that we are currently experiencing a moment that students will learn about in their history classes, I know this is not the ideal way we all wanted to end our school year. It's going to continue to take time and patience from you (and from me ) while we figure all this out.
Please READ all the points below: 

1) While I learn the new Canvas system, I will continue to post our assignments and updates on this website since that is what we are used to but I will try to use the calendar on Canvas and add more to Canvas as we go...but please be patient with me :) 
If you ever have any questions, please reach out to me via email: sarah.warsaw@bend.k12.or.us 

2) IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS: EMAIL me with any missing assignments! Don't worry about my late work policy for the moment. Almost everything can be found on my website but if you can't find something, please let me know. Also, we are going to STOP doing the Last Week Today presentations so if you completed yours, you should have a grade (let me know if you don't!) but if not, I am excusing you from it and it won't help/hurt your overall grade. 

3) THIS WEEK: You will need to check in with me so I know that you are okay and able to access the internet. PLEASE click on the Google Form link and complete the survey by the end of the day on Thursday, April 2nd! CLICK HERE FOR GOOGLE FORM

4) We will start having occasional class-wide and small group WebEx class meetings. Attached are the instructions on how to access WebEx meetings with me and our class! We'll get started on those NEXT WEEK. 

5) My goal is to post a plan for each week by Sunday evenings so you will know what we are working on that week, when we will meet, when things are due, etc.
