Tonight's Homework:

Read, Chapter 24, Section 1 of the textbook, "Dictators Threaten World Peace"

We're trying something a little new for homework corresponding to the textbook this chapter. No worksheets, (Gasp!!), instead you'll be doing more guiding notes-style assignments.

At the beginning of this section, p.734 you will notice that right under the title you see three separate columns:

• Main Idea
• Why it Matters Now
• Terms and Names

On a piece of notebook paper, (or via e-mail/GoogleDoc) please copy down the Main Idea and Why it Matters straight from the text. Easy as pie, but this way you will have the take-home points right there in your notes.

Then as you read, identify each of the Terms and Names (hint, hint- these are all bolded)

*Your identifications of these terms and names do not need to be in complete sentences, a thorough set of bullet points is fine.

Questions? Comments? Concerns?

In addition to the above homework. I'd also like you to make an outline and thesis to answer the question "How Successful was the New Deal?"
