1. Warm Up
Imagine I have asked you to find 4 new sources to use for next year’s Part B assessment. I have decided to make the theme “The Rise of Far Right Politics in the U.S. and Europe in the 2010’s.” How would you go about finding sources? What issues would you be concerned about in evaluating sources? Be prepared to share your thinking with the class.

2. Chromebooks
Everyone has an assigned Chromebook to use in class. Only use your assigned Chromebook. If there is an issue with your assigned Chromebook let me know. You should only take your Chromebook out of the cart when instructed to do so. The Chromebooks should only be out when we are actively working with them.
