U.S. History Shut DOwn Learning Plan Playlists  

Week 7: April 27th - May 1st 

Hello US History students! 

We are back with week 7 of online learning.  If you are like me, you may be feeling this is getting old and craving normalcy.  This week we must be patient, and continue investing in ourselves and not give up on our learning goals.  Remember there are many individual options for achieving success and I am willing to work with all of you. If your technology is no longer reliable, let me know and I will provide other options.


I miss you all.  Your personalities, energy, and fun are absent in these dreary CNY days and I hope to see you soon.

Be well,
Mrs. Argus

NYS Framework Connection: 11.8.
WORLD WAR II (1935 – 1945): The participation of the United States in World War II was a transformative event for the nation and its role in the world.  (Standards: 1, 2; Themes: TCC, GOV, CIV, TECH)
As situations overseas deteriorated, President Roosevelt’s leadership helped move the nation from a policy of neutrality to a pro-Allied position and ultimately direct involvement in the war.
 
  • Students will examine reasons for the passage of the Neutrality Acts (1935–1937) and consider the national debate as a shift to pro-Allied policies including “cash and carry” and Lend-Lease.
  • Students will trace ongoing negotiations with Japan and United States efforts to stop Japanese aggression without resorting to war and without appeasing Japanese demands.
  • Students will examine the impact of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
