History 12-3/12-2 Intro to the USA

Today we introduced ourselves to an examination of the USA in the 1920s and 1930s.  I started by identifying some of the biggest ideas that I personally think about when I consider this topic as a way to give focus to the things that you should perhaps ses as the most important parts of the story to learn.

Next, we looked at Falk's Ex #19 that examines a primary source from the Grand Wizard of the KKK as well as some other aspects to US society in the 20s.  For homework, I ask that you read pp 113 -116 in DeMarco and do Ex #1-2 as a way to continue your thinking about the USA after having concentrated on Europe for most of the first term.

Don't forget that the fascism unit test is on Tuesday.  Bring your books so that you have something to do when you finish.
