Using a the list of 74 terms below (or supplied by Mr. Mark) choose two partners and divide the terms into 3 groups. Approximately 25 each. One lucky person will only have to do 24. For each term choose an image that best describes it and supply a quick definition that explains it.(When, Where, Why, What) 

In order to build your projects, start in Google Presentations and share your document with your two partners. Collaboratively you can build your working project. Finally convert your Google Presentation to Youtube and post in the Project sections of your History 12 Weebly Site.

You can base your ideas on the information you saw in the movie, but you should also search for other sources. Create a convincing argument to defend your position and be ready to debate your findings in class. Please post your blog in "Projects" Your blog post may include pictures and videos, also you must include your sources. Make sure you clearly state your thesis and arguments for and against. As a rough guide your blog post should be about 300-400 words.
