Thursday and Friday (3/3, 3/4)

If you are going to be absent Thursday and/or Friday, here is the assignment so you can still get it done.

On Thursday, we are watching a video called "Hitler and Stalin: Roots of Evil." You can find this at the link below or by going to www.youtube.com and searching for "Hitler and Stalin Roots of Evil." As you watch the video, make a Venn Diagram comparing Hitler and Stalin.

On Friday, we will be having a debate/discussion about who was worse, Hitler or Stalin. Your Venn Diagram will count as your written portion for the debate. If you are going to be absent on Friday, you need to write an 8-10 sentence paragraph with your argument: Who was worse, Hitler or Stalin? Pick one and back it up with facts from the video and any additional information you may know.

This will be a daily grade.
