Have I done all the work in Mr. Randall's class?

This is a question you should be asking yourself every once in a while. Here is what we have done the past few weeks

1) KWL chart with back sheet primary source summaries
2) T-chart "Effective" and "Ineffective" LofN
3) Success and Failures of Lof N in the 1920s (including border disputes and humanitarian efforts)
4) J, K,L, M primary source summaries, public opinion summary, Cornell notes page 32-33

The above assignments were part of a 25 point binder check

On Monday we read page 46-51 and explained how the depression influenced the policies of the following countries: US, Britian, France, Germany, Italy, Japan. We went over this in class so there should be no questions

In a group of three, have students do independent research on 3 examples above. Ask the students to explain for each one 1) How effective the League was and 2) why it was or was not successful. See if they can find any common factors in these studies.

League of Nations Videos

Below are some great links to videos for the League of Nations. I will add to them as I discover them.

Try to have at least 10 examples! If you would like to use a website, there is one below you can peruse. Focus on the organization and not the individual cases though, as we will look at these later.
