Hello, history students!
For your Do Now, compare the two cartoons below.
How can these cartoons be used to describe the League of Nations, especially in the 1930s?
What can you learn from these cartoons?
Be specific with your answer.
Today we will talk about Appeasement. What is appeasement?
Pages 264-273 will discuss the policy of appeasement. You will work with a partner to determine whether or not it was a good policy for France and Britain to follow.
We will specifically look at reasons why Britain and France used Appeasement during the 1930s and whether or not this was the best idea. Further, we will look at issues in Czechoslovakia and the Sudetenland.
Hitler is still on the move....
Due: Tuesday (P1M & P2M) or Wednesday (P2G & P4G)
Your homework: Imagine you are Neville Chamberlain in 1938. Write a letter to France's Prime Minster Daladier. Explain in your letter why you think giving the Sudetenland to Hitler is the best course of action.

Good day, history students!
For those of you without an iPad, please take out a piece of paper and wait for my instruction.
Today we will be revisiting Abyssinia and how it led to World War Two. Please click here to complete the in-class activity.
From the conflict in Abyssinia, we will see the steps Hitler took and what the British and French did (or didn't do) about it. We will complete an additional timeline tracking the events of the 1930s until 1940, noting the conflicts in the League of Nations and Hitler's movements. This will give us a good idea of the mounting tension in Europe in the 1930s.
Your homework: Looking back at the 1930s, choose one event (other than Hitler coming into power in Germany) that could have prevented World War Two. Explain how things would have been different. This is due Friday (P1M & P2M) or Monday (P2G & P4G).
Reflect on what we learned today:
Why was the League of Nations such an epic failure?
How did the League of Nations contribute to the start of World War Two?

Hello, history students!
Today we will be investigating how Hitler was able to gain and consolidate power in the 1930s. In order to do this, we need to continue to build on our knowledge of the Weimar Republic, its strengths and weaknesses, as well as our understanding of the Great Depression in the United States and how that impacted Germany.
For your Do Now, please Fling the Teacher! Click here to get started. Find Germany Lessons on the lefthand side (click it), then find 1920s Revision Game. Click it and have fun! You need to answer 15 questions correctly in order to fling the teacher. Once you have won, please get started on the next part of your Do Now.
Using your timeline we made last week, please write a paragraph explaining how the Weimar Republic helped pave the way for a ruler like Adolf Hitler. Please use some of our vocabulary, like communism, Reichstag, The Ruhr, hyperinflation, etc.
Click here for the worksheets we will be using in class and for homework.
Next we'll work together as a group to chart how the U.S. Stock Market Crash could cause miners in Silesia (eastern Germany) to lose their jobs and become homeless. Through this investigation we will be able to see how the Depression affected Germany and created a path for Hitler and the Nazis to rise to power.
The Nazi Party identified specific issues with the Weimar government. They also offered solutions to those problems. On pages 152-157, we will look at the problems with the Weimar government and how the Nazis proposed to solve them. Additionally we will investigate the idea of negative cohesion; some people believed the Nazis gained support due to this phenomenon. People collectively disliked certain things about German society -- and so did the Nazis.
Finally, we will create a new timeline, focusing on the early 1930s and Hitler's rise to becoming the Fuhrer. We need to look at specific events that occurred to bring him to power, including his appointment as Chancellor, the Reichstag Fire, the Enabling Act, the Night of the Long Knives, the death of President Hindenburg, and Hitler becoming the Fuhrer.

Wednesday & Thursday, November 9 & 10
Good day, history students!
As you come in, please get BOTH textbooks!
Today we are going to find out what Hitler was up to during these exciting years of the Weimar Republic!
Monday & Tuesday we talked about the differences between Ebert's and Stresemann's administrations during the Weimar Republic. Each leader faced opposition, including Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist German Workers' Party.
As we will be studying how Hitler took the Chancellorship in 1933, we need to understand where Hitler came from in the 1920s. How did the Nazi Party gain power by the 1930s? Were they always powerful? Was Hitler always popular?
For your Do Now, please create another timeline. This timeline needs to span 1920-1930. Please label every year between 1920 and 1930. Leave plenty of space so you can fill in events as we talk about them today.
Next, with a partner, please discuss the question, "Who ran the Weimar Republic better, Freidrich Ebert or Gustav Stresemann?" Be sure to explain your answer. We will then discuss as a class.
As usual, we have more vocabulary to discuss today. Learning vocabulary like this helps us understand the important events and agreements that shaped history
Please click here to access the vocabulary from today and the rest of the unit.
We will be looking at a number of different pages in our textbooks today. In the big textbook, we will look at pages 148-151, 242-245, as well as pages 38 and 39 in the skinny textbook.
Through these pages we will investigate the events that carried Germany to follow Hitler in the 1930s. We will plot these events and information about them on our timelines. These timelines will help us understand how events transpired and in what order. This lets us see how things built on each other and peoples ideas and feelings changed over time.
P1M, P2G & P4G HOMEWORK: (1) Imagine you were in Munich as Hitler tried to take over the government. Write three different tweets describing what was happening. (2) Explain why the US stock market crash had such a large effect on the rest of the world.
P2M: (1) Imagine you were in Munich as Hitler tried to take over the government. Write three different tweets describing what was happening.

Thursday & Friday, November 3 & 4
Hello, History students!
Today we will continue to delve into the depths of our Germany Depth study (Ha! Get it, depths of the depth study??)
For your Do Now, we will be reviewing our vocabulary from Tues/Wed. Please click here.
If you do not have an iPad, on a separate sheet of paper, please define republic, Reichstag, constitution, and democracy. Use each word in a sentence, too.
To understand what the Weimar Republic is, we need to know how it came to become the new government in Germany after World War One. We will look at pages 138 and 139 in our textbooks to show us diagrams and give us background information on this.
We will spend time comparing and contrasting the constitution of Germany before and after World War One. The most important factors for us to understand are the differences in how representatives were chosen. Page 139 has a particularly good diagram of the new Weimar government. We will compare this with a diagram of the old government on http://www.johndclare.net/Weimar2.htm.

What happened to Kaiser Wilhelm II?
Who actually signed the Armistice with the Allies on November, 11, 1918?
Why did people in Germany believe that the new government, including Ebert, had "stabbed Germany in the back and caused the defeat in the war"?
Do you agree with them? Why or why not?
Who became the new President of the Weimar Republic?
We will spend time comparing and contrasting the constitution of Germany before and after World War One. The most important factors for us to understand are the differences in how representatives were chosen. Page 139 has a particularly good diagram of the new Weimar government. We will compare this with a diagram of the old government on http://www.johndclare.net/Weimar2.htm.
What are similarities between the governments?
What differences do you notice?
What might be most difficult for people to get used to as a new Republic?
Record these similarities and differences in your Venn diagram.
Before we start looking at the problems facing the Weimar Republic, we need to learn a few more words to help us understand the ideologies of all the different enemies of the Republic. Communist, Socialist, Left-wing, and Right-wing are words we hear so frequently. But what do they really mean? What did they mean to the Weimar Republic? Let's find out!
On pages 140 and 141, we will read about the threats facing the Weimar Republic, including issues from Left-wing and Right-wing opponents. You have a graphic organizer with your Venn diagram. In each column, as we read, write down the political opponents of the Weimar Republic and how they each opposed them and how they were handled by the Republic. This will help us understand how the government treated certain political opponents and predict the consequences of that treatment.
Your homework is to write a letter from the perspective of Friedrich Ebert to a friend living in France. How might he describe the political opposition he is facing from both the Left and the Right? Include how he might handle the issues, too.
This is due Monday (P1M & P2M) or Tuesday (P2G & P4G).

Happy History, students!
We will spend today playing with the information we've been learning over the last few days. The League of Nations is a tricky little bugger. We need to spend more time understanding the GOALS, the STRUCTURE, the MEMBERS, and the SUCCESSES AND FAILURES of the League in the 1920s. This will help us understand how the Leagues action (or inaction) lead into the rise of Hitler and World War Two.

DO NOW
Analyze this cartoon for audience, message, and purpose.
Next we will go over the homework from yesterday. You will work in your groups to check your answers at stations around the classroom. When you're done, you will explain why your answers were different from mine (if they were).
We will also look at the four main objectives (goals) of the League of Nations. In pairs you will look at examples of the work the League did in the 1920s and match them to one of the League's goals.
For example, the issue with the Aaland Islands in 1921 was an example of how the League accomplished its goal of discouraging aggression between nations. As our text says, "Both Sweden and Finland wanted control of the Aaland islands, which were midway between the two countries. Both countries were threatening to fight for them. They appealed to the League. After studying the matter closely, the League said the islands should go to Finland. Sweden accepted the League's ruling and war was avoided."
Please turn to page 238. We will star the Focus Task in the lower right corner together.
Time willing, we will do a Halloween History scavenger hunt!
Click here to start investigating where Halloween started and how it turned into the holiday we celebrate today!
Questions to investigate:
What holiday does Halloween come from?
What is All Saints Day?
Why do people dress up on Halloween?
How is November 2 celebrated in Mexico? What is the holiday called?
What is Guy Fawkes Day? What movie is about Guy Fawkes?
What are the origins of the jack-o-lantern?
Please complete your exit ticket below and have a happy Halloween!
