Chapter 24

First, such a much better job on Chapter 23 quizzes. I think you are all getting the hang of it!

Chapter 24 is about War on the Homefront.

1. Watch Influenza 1918 which is part of the PBS American Experience series. You will take notes on a. factors that contributed to the spread of flu and b. actions of public health officials. The flu epidemic is little covered in US history courses, but killed 675,000 Americans, so it is definitely something we should know about.

2. Students worked in groups to take notes about one subset of Americans and both their stance on the war and how the war impacted the group. Those notes were shared on Wednesday and possibly Thursday. The chart with all of the groups and the notes you should have taken is on my teacher page under Chapter 24 chart.

We will take a quick quiz over Chapter 24 on Friday and begin talking about Chapter 25, the Treat of Versailles and the end of World War I.
