Spring is in the air!

In the spirit of the season and renewal.... Here we go again.  I will be posting IB paper 3 prompts from previous test sessions to help you begin focusing on the types of questions IB may ask come next May.  I will aim to have these follow what we currently covering in class so that it will hopefully also serve as a review and focus piece for the types of historical knowledge you will need for the test.

I will have these posted every two weeks and the required response for you is to write an original post in reply to the prompt and then to offer at least on constructive critique to a peer.  So in the end you should have a minimum of two postings for each blog prompt.  I will be checking for completion and appropriate responses and will offer periodic feedback as well-- both randomly and specifically with a request from you for special attention.  Dead line for on time submissions will be two weeks from my original posting.

Season II - Prompt 1:
