Applying the Lessons of Vietnam

You've drawn a caricature, you've read the handout, now answer the questions . . . !
1) Of the lessons A-K in the handout "Applying the Lessons of Vietnam," which one is the most important one the USA should have learned from its experiences in the Vietnam conflict?  Why do you think this lesson is more important than all of the others? 
2) Did the USA actually learn this most important lesson in its recent involvements in Iraq, Afghanistan, and/or Libya (do some research if you need to)?  Back up your answer with some evidence.
3) Critique (in a professional manner) the choice of the person who posted before you (agree/disagree with his/her choice of most important lesson, and why).

This 10 point assignment is due by 2/26/13 at 11:59pm.  Comment to this post using your first name, last initial, and class period.

Crash Course World History...The Cold War in a Nutshell

It's Test Time, Baby . . . Unit 1 -- United Nations

Your Unit 1 -- United Nations test on Monday 2/11/13 is going to be 124 points of fun.  If you want to do well, study!  The important things to study are on the back of the Unit 1 Calendar that you are including with your Binder Check.  If you know all of the key terms, people, and concepts, you should do well...unless you happen to choose too many incorrect multiple choice answers, or misinterpret or don't answer the non-multiple choice portions of the test. 
 
The test will be mostly multiple choice, some true/false, a few matching, with one Venn Diagram, one short answer, and one long answer...and a few cartoons.

This will be an opened-brain, closed-Binder, closed-book, closed-neighbor, closed-electronic device, no-help-sheet, etc. test . . . just do your best . . . that's all we can ask!


Good Luck!
