Today we finished the chapter 19 (19th century foreign policy) reading/notes/discussion.
We completed an in class assignment addressing policies of neutrality, unilateralism, the Monroe Doctrine, territorial expansion and imperialism. It also addressed reason for US imperialism (competing with Britain, set an example to the world, spread beliefs, to strengthen the navy.).
We also were assigned a short speech. the assignment is to present and explain our perspective on the motives behind 19th Century US foreign policy (whether it was more of a realist policy or a more idealist policy). The scoring guide for this speech can be found at this link (may not open in all browsers). The speech should be prepared and practiced before submitting it. The speech will not be presented before our classmates but will instead be presented at home and recorded for review.
After we are fully prepared to deliver a great speech, we will call 503-664-0231 and record the speech. We need to make certain we include our name and class period.
This "speech" is due before the day of our final. However, Mr. Williams encouraged us to complete it within the next week while the information is still fresh in our minds.
