We finally made it! Congrats on completing the 2019-2020 school year! Grades are posted. Have a fun and safe summer. 

Please see below for the instructions for your Final.  If you would like to have a voice-over instructions see the link at the bottom. 

• Brainstorm the top 16 impact/influential things from second Semester (people, themes, events, etc.)
  • 1930s – 1970s
• Rank them using the numbers 1-16
  • (1 being the highest seed and most impactful/influential)
  • (16 being the lowest seed and least impactful/influential)
• Place them accordingly on the bracket sheet
  • This will allow you to see your match-ups
    • For Example if you put Vietnam War as #1 and JFK as #16 they would be in match up 1
  • You can see the example provided as to how the bracket should look.
• Once you have the 16 items listed, go through the bracket and make a decision for each match up. This decision should be decided on who/what is the most influential or had the greatest impact.
  • There are 15 match-ups make sure you are doing the following for each match-up
    • You must justifying/explain the match-ups and who will win and why. This should be a minimum of 2-3 sentences. 
      • For example, if Vietnam was more impactful (According to you) than JFK, you need to explain why
• There are no wrong answers here, you just need to be able to justify your thoughts
