G/E Block History 12

Today we began with an oral review of the responses to the Exercise 2-3 questions on p. 31 and p. 33.  Next, students collaborated in small groups to re-word Wilson's 14 Points into more concise statements.  Once that was done, I asked that the points be shuffled into a hierarchy of importance.  It would seem that the League of Nations, no secret agreements, free trade by land and sea and self-determination were seen as key in both classes.  In Block G we took a few minutes to look at the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk; in E Block I summarized its features (Lenin agreeing to give up a huge chunk of Western Russia in exchange for peace with Germany).

We ended the class with my synthesizing some of the abbreviated points to begin a paragraph to summarize the 14 Points.
