PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE WATCHED THE VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING WORK ON THE ESSENTIAL TERMS AND QUESTIONS.
Written instructions are found in the assignment. Use our class notes first to find the information, and then if you still need information go to www.history.com and use their search feature. DO NOT USE WIKIPEDIA.
Here is one example of how to do an essential term:
1. Mercantilism
Who and Where: Great Britain and the 13 British Colonies
What: to gain wealth and therefore global power, a mother country (GB) takes raw materials from its colonies -> uses the labor from citizens of the mother country -> sells finished products to other countries and back to its colonies
When: throughout British colonization of North America in the 1600s and 1700s before American independence (see also Salutary Neglect)
SIG: although the colonies benefited in certain ways from mercantilism, they began to resent the Navigation Acts that would force their goods to go through British ports on British ships, earning additional profits through taxation as tensions rose
ETQs are always due on the day of the unit assessment (see pacing guide under "Resources" tab for more information) and must be handwritten.

For those of you wondering about the history of European Anti-semitism leading up to the Holocaust, I put this video up for you - I think it does a great job of explaining the "why" over the course of World History.
It's from the American Holocaust Museum's site - which has a ton of resources if you're interested in learning more. If you have a chance to visit the D.C. Museum, it will have an extreme impact on you forever. I strongly recommend. If it doesn't show up, search YouTube for "History of European Antisemitism" from the Holocaust Museum.
