Blog #24-Review

Hello APUSH!

It's time to review for our big test.  This week, pick one thing from the review list and describe its significance.  Be sure to list the who, what, when, where and why of your item.  Ideally, you'd use this as a review tool so be thorough in your explaining so your classmates can be successful!

Blog #23-FDR

It is not hard to find something to compliment FDR about.  However, it isn't too hard to find something negative about FDR either.  To help prepare for the debate coming up, let's do some debating...

The first person to post gets off easy.

Person #1-Post something positive OR negative about FDR and explain why.  FDR is great because...OR FDR is not great because....

Everyone else-Disagree with what the person before you said about FDR OR support it.  Next, type something new about FDR...positive OR negative.

Have fun debating...what kind of president/person was FDR?

Blog #22-The Great Depression

Dorothea Lange is one of the most well-known photographers of The Great Depression and this photo, The Migrant Mother, is one of the most well-known photos of the era.

This week, post another photo from The Great Depression and explain its significance to the time period.

Have fun!

Blog #21-the 1920s

The 1920s were a time of success through medical and technological advances, an increase in women's rights, and many new literary achievements.  However, it was also a time of increased organized crime and a rise in the KKK.  Pick one thing from the 20s that was a positive or one that was a negative and explain how these helped or hurt the U.S.  Remember, anything can be considered a positive or negative if you fully support it!

Have fun!
