Foreign Policy 1919-1941: America in the Age of Isolationism--PARCC Week Work

NOTE-If you are looking for Section II of the Foreign Policy writing, it's in the previous post! Everything listed in this post is for next week's work.

Isolationism and US Foreign Policy Between the Wars

Over the course of this week, you will do independent work concerning the development of American Foreign Policy during the period from the end of WWI to WWII.  This work will consist of three central tasks:

1. Getting grounded in the story of the period by reading and annotating Choices readings, as well as completing Study Guide questions related to those readings.
2. Synthesizing that information by completing a timeline of the period.
3. Examining the progression of American Foreign Policy by looking at excerpts of the speeches of Franklin Roosevelt.

You will be given this packet of readings in class on Monday. If you are unable to come to class, please print them out or come to Q101 to pick it up. This packet also contains the timeline you will be creating throughout the unit. You will complete all of the other written work and study guides for this week electronically in this packet.

Given that we are all on separate schedules for the week, we are suggesting that you follow the following pacing guide.  Your completed packets (annotations and timelines handed in physically, this packet submitted via turnitin.com) are due by 3:14 on Friday, 3/20.  All class periods will be work periods for this week.  There will be no additional homework.  Please note, though, that if you are out of class, you should do your best to maintain the pace we have set by completing that day’s task at home.  

Again, all readings are from this packet.  You will also use this timeline.  Hard copies of both have been provided in class.

Day One: Complete Initial Foreign Policy Brainstorming. Read and annotate Choices Part I, and complete Study Guide questions.  Put events from the reading on the timeline.

Day Two: Read and annotate Choices Part II, and and complete Study Guide questions.  Put events from the reading on the timeline.

Day Three: Complete Part I of the FDR Foreign Policy questions

Day Four: Complete Part II of the FDR Foreign Policy questions (NOTE: You need your AR)
