Thursday, April 9th

We started today looking at how President Franklin Roosevelt tried to slowly turn the country into a more internationalist view. I call this "Inching to Internationalism". You should use handout #18 and find what each one of these acts said, did or required. You can find all but the Kellogg-Brian Pact on pages 711-712 and 724-728. You also should be able to evaluate each one on its isolationism. In other words which act shows the U.S. at it most isolationist stance, which one is the least.

We also started our third role play today. You will work with a partner to complete a role play speech from either the isolationist or internationalist viewpoint. Your topic is whether or not the U.S. should get involved with the brewing conflict in Europe. Role play directions are on handout #19 and a rubric is on handout #20. Please use the handouts we have done over the past week to help you with your speech especially handout #16. Be ready to present tomorrow.
