4. Content Standards Topic: Achievements and Crises (1900-1945) The first half of the 20th century was one of rapid technological advances. It was a period when the tensions between industrialized nations resulted in World War I and set the stage for World War II. While World War II transformed the balance of world power, it was the most destructive and costly war in terms of human casualties and material resources expended. 15. The consequences of World War I and the worldwide depression set the stage for the Russian Revolution, the rise of totalitarianism, aggressive Axis expansion and the policy of appeasement which in turn led to World War II. 15.

8. B: Application of Learning Partnerships will use the information gathered during their collaborative research to create a “Fakebook” page. http://www.classtools.net/fb/home/page/ http://www.classtools.net/fb/home/page/ At the beginning of the third day of this project (or the end of day 2, if students have finished early), the teacher will display a finished Fakebook page, going over the elements of the page, how to add to the page and the help sheet for the page. Partnership will create a new page on their dictator, editing the profile and then clicking on save. This will provide them with a URL of their page. They will be asked to create a password. This will allow both students to work on the page together. Their Google doc will provide the needed information to complete the Fakebook page. When the Fakebook page is finished the URL will be submitted via a Google Form.
