Update on World History - Tuesday, March 24

Hello, all,

I hope you and your families are doing well during this time. As you know, there is no graded homework at this time, but I am making some resources available in the Files and Links page of my web site. At this time, you should just be reviewing the material we have covered on WWI so far as well as the assignments that was originally assigned at the start of the unit. For these last few assignment, they will not be graded at this time and you would have some time when you come back to school to complete them before I would make them due.

As with last semester, the final that I had planned for this semester would just have been a test on the last unit/chapter we would have covered. If we do go back to school or do have a final, it would not be cumulative, but just cover the last unit we studied. Therefore, there is no need to review material from before the WWI unit.

The review materials on the Files and Links page has some WWI Oversimplified videos as well as some videos from Khan Academy. In addition, there is a review packet on WWI. It has some information that you can read about WWI as well as some activities that I would encourage you to look at. However, again there is no graded work for this period.

Keep checking the web site for new posts as we move forward and learn more about when and how we will be finishing up the end of the school year.

Please also feel free to contact me with questions or if you would like me to review any work that you may choose to do.

Sincerely, Mr. Kerwin
