This week, we will finish off looking at WWI by talking about the aftermath of the war. Then, we will begin talking about self-determination. We will look at multiple examples, both contemporary, and historical, to help you understand the term. Finally, we will relate self-determination and national interest together with a placemat activity. Because Thursday will be your last day of class before spring break, we will play a national interest- related game called Risk. If you have never played the game, or have not played in a while, please read the instructions under Thursday's plans before we play!
