START STUDYING NOW! Don't Wait till June!

The Next Social Studies Unit - US Foreign Policy

Hello, Everyone:

In the interest of getting everyone ready for the next unit, here's what we're going to be doing next. Hopefully, over the next few days, if you've finished the take-home, you can start working on this .

We're going to be looking at America's Foreign Policy. In other words, the way that our country relates with other nations. We'll be looking specifically at the period from 1850, until about 1945. There's a lot of information there, so it's really important that we're all focused on what we have to do. Here's a link below that will give you information on what we'll be studying.

Hopefully, we'll finish the unit by the end of the month. Some of the ways we'll be checking how well you've learned include, but are not limited to:
  • A DBQ Essay Assignment: This one will come from the June 2001 Regents Exam.
  • Multiple Choice "Regents Style" Test
  • In Class Assignments

We're about 4 months away from the Regents. Keep working hard, and we'll all get there. Good Luck!
