Blog-o-ssignment: Causes of World War II

Due Date: Tuesday, October 6th

Here is your chance summarize what we have learned about the causes of World War II.

Your task:

Identify, summarize and justify what you believe are the three long term and three short term causes of World War II.

Specifics:

• You do not need to write this in paragraph form, but it must answer the question and show substantiated support. A detailed outline is a great approach.
  
• Try to collate information from all the different sources we have used so far and make a substantiated and articulate argument.
• Try to incorporate several of the primary sources we've investigated in the Origins of WWI and WWII book.

I will use a modified paper two rubric to grade this assignment.

Summary and OPVL of two document case studies

Due Date: Thursday Sept. 17

Using the "Origins of the First and Second World War" document case study on pages 65 -66, choose two to analyze.

For the two you choose to study, give a brief description / summary of the document and then write an OPVL for each. For the Origin focus on who is stating the information and the context of this rather than using the bibliographical information at the bottom of the passage.

Please see me with questions:
