C and A Block - History 12

Today, both classes worked on the same objectives.  We started our discussions about the Paris Peace today.  We opened the lesson with a silent reading of pp 27-28 and then did a group oral review of the Exercise One questions.  Next, I showed the beginning of the film "Make Germany Pay."  When we watch films I will generally expect you to note a few factoids that you find significant or interesting so we can have fuel for a discussion afterwords.  We followed that with a few slides to show the differences between the views of the different Allied leaders who arrived in Paris in January, 1919.  You can click on the link on the bottom-right of the blog to access the PowerPoint slides.
Review to see who was the Pragmatist
and who was the Realist
I ended the lesson by giving the class 20-minutes to begin the following reading assignment:
read DeMarco pp.29-36 and make brief notes to all questions in Exercises 2 to 5.  Please come to class ready to add something to the discussion of those pages.

NOTE: Students in C/G Block should already have turned in their paragraphs summarizing WW1.  Students in A/E Block should turn in their paragraphs at the start of tomorrow's class.
