RUSHers!

We're going to have a very short QUIZ on Friday. The QUIZ will cover Chapter 24, Section 1 and 2. If you watched the video last night, and you've done the HW assignments related to the two sections of the chapter, I'm pretty confident you'll do great!

The quiz will consist of 12 matching questions, and 8 multiple choice questions. All of the MC questions came right off of regentsprep.org.

Excellent Study Lecture!

Here's what you need to know.

Which nation won the Battle of Britain.
Which British prime minister signed the Munich Pact.

After the fall of France, he set up a government in exile in Britain.
What led Hitler to call off the invasion of Britain indefinitely.
What was the German strategy of "lightning war" called? What country was Germany's first target?
What Germany and the Soviet Union agreed to.
Which nation ceased to exist after it was divided between Germany and the Soviet Union.
What country invaded Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
Britain and France's policy toward German aggression.

Who said “Britain and France had to choose between war and dishonor. They chose dishonor. They will have war.”
The terms of surrender forced on this nation included German occu- pation of the northern part of the country and the establishment of a Nazi-controlled puppet government in the southern part.

The Multiple Choice will deal with questions relating to the start of the war, and America's initial reaction to the war.

EXAM Study Guide

WWI EXAM - This Friday

This exam will be a take home exam, that is due on the Monday we return from February break (February 28). With the exception of a legal absence from school, anyone who does not turn in the exam, will receive a grade of zero.

We will beging working on the exam in class on Friday. You will work on it at home and finish over the week that we're off from school, in addition to your February break assignments. Although the exam is a take-home exam, it is expected that you will put the same effort into studying that you would as if it were an in-class exam.

Here's a link to the exam.

Please note that you don't have to print out the exam. You only have to turn in the answer sheet.

Here's what's going to be on the exam. The exam will very closely approximate a Regents exam in term of its length, and depth of coverage of the subject.

1. Vocab:
Selective Service Act
Hello Girls
Big Four
Fourteen Points
Treaty of Versailles
Schlieffen Plan
Sussex Pledge
Allied Powers
Central Powers
Zimmerman Note
U-Boats

reparations

2. Multiple Choice: 40 Questions

3. Thematic Essay Topic: Supreme Court Cases Concerning Constitutional Civil Liberties Task: Using the case of Schenck vs. United States,
• Discuss the facts of the case (what do you know about it?)
• Identify a specific constitutional civil liberty issue addressed by the Supreme Court (what rights were in question)
• Discuss how the decision of the Supreme Court either expanded or limited a specific constitutional civil liberty in the United States (how did the decision affect how people were able to use that right?)

4. DBQ – Topic: Why did the US enter WWI? Will be VERY similar to the assignment we did in class.

You’ll have about 5 DBQ’s to answer.
Each document will relate to the US’s entry into WWI.
After you finish the DBQ’s, you’ll have an outline to complete
After the outline, you’ll write your essay.
Has to have intro, conclusion, and body paragraphs
Answer MUST make reference to a certain # of document(s) (ex: “in document 1, it shows that the US was exporting nearly 2 billion dollars to Britain by 1916.”
