Virtual Learning Week 6 in Google Classroom

Virtual Learning Week 6

For this week, we have two options for virtual learning. The first is on the Korean War which we would have covered in our Cold War unit. Here is some background information on how the war started.

On June 25, 1950, North Korea surprised South Korea by invading and advancing towards the capital city of Seoul. Soon after, President Truman sent U.S. troops to aid the South Korean military, and a U.N. Security Council resolution was pushed through to send additional troops and aid to bolster existing South Korean and U.S. forces. An armistice was signed in July 1953, ending the active fighting of the war and creating a demilitarized zone separating the two countries, although a peace treaty has never been signed. In this lesson, students will learn about the causes, significance, and legacy of the Korean War.

The second are some games to learn about government. Since most of you will be taking this next year, we felt this was a good way to introduce you to some of its content.
