Gwendolyn and I reviewed what we covered last week. I quizzed her on concepts, the sequence of historical events, cause and effect and vocabulary terms. We learned more about mass production and the perfection of the assembly line, credited to Henry Ford. We watched a short BrainPop video which demonstrated changes attributed to this new technology. We looked to History.com to learn more about why the U.S. entered the War 3 years later and the two incidents that caused Woodrow Wilson to join in the War - the Zimmerman telegram and the sinking of the Lusitania. We looked at the purposeful design of trench digging. We also discussed Woodrow Wilson's efforts at peace, the 14 points speech and the formation of the League of Nations. Finally, we looked to the use of propaganda in the War.
