Using the Essential Terms and Concepts sheet:
1. Complete the 10 items from Unit 7 that you feel you need to review. Identify each and explain their significance in American History. Typically, for identification, ask yourself the "who was involved, what happened, where did it take place, etc.", and for the significance, ask yourself "why is this important for the course, what is the outcome, what does it lead to, etc." - choose terms that you truly need to review again, not ones you already know.
Please underline or highlight the significance of each term so that it is clear when grading what you think is the importance of each term. If you fail to indicate significance, the assignment will be returned to you to be completed according to instructions.
Must be handwritten and submitted before we start on the day of the unit test.

World War II
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" of Anti-semitism 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.

We are picking up from the notes on the "Road to WWII" at the "Blitzkrieg" tactic and the Winter War below (Slide 3, 4). We've already covered the invasion of Poland, evacuation at Dunkirk, Hitler's occupation in France, the "Blitz" on England (Slides 5, 6, 7, 8) in the "Road to WWII" notes. The video clips take about 56 minutes in total for you to watch and annotate.
