Hello Mrs. Separ. So today's class started with an around of applause for Mrs. Separ. After that ended, Mrs. Separ took a survey of who was going to be borrowing AP books from the school. After that we were given massive packets which go along with the books we will be given or purchasing for the AP exam. THey looked quite lengthy and a lot of questions in them. After we received them Mrs. Separ told us about how April was going to be a very tough month but if you work hard you it will pay off on the AP exam. We also learned of the optional AP exam being given on April 30 after school. Lastly, we were given a break assignment based on the role of women in their society due when we get back. We were assigned an area in class.
As for the lesson, we continued to learn about WWI. We reviewed from yesterday about MAIN militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism which were the main causes of WWI. We also went over the alliances during the war the triple entente which were Russia, France, and Great Britain and the triple alliance which was Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Turks. We learned that the war began with the assassination of the heir to Austria who was Prince Ferdinand. This made Austria declare war on serbia which set everything else into motion. This caused Russia to support Serbia due to their cultural similarities, which lead to Germany backing up their ally Austria. And then being the bad ass that Germany was they declared war on Russia's ally France. Then we learned of how Great Britain was not involved until Germany ignored their letter saying not to invade France through the neutral country of Belgium. After they ignored this Great Britain declared war on Germany. This is what we basically got up to. Lastly, we learned of how the colonies in other parts of the world like Africa fought with one another as well. Showing how this was truly a world war.
At the end of class we received a map which needs to be filled in for homework based on this time in the textbook. We also have the second set of textbook questions due on friday as well. AS for the next blogger it will be Alex Hinners.
Alex--please blog tomorrow night even if I am still at the blood drive, thanks.
