This weeks learning opportunity will be on the infamous Watergate Scandal. Please share your thoughts and opinions in the comment section below.
Here is a link to the Youtube video
Google Drive link if Youtube video doesn't work
I am available via email pretty much all day, including weekends. I will also be available in the chat room on my website whenever I am on my website. Feel free to ask questions there as well.
Thanks!
Other things you can do:
--I will leave the previous weeks learning opportunities open. Feel free to read and reply to them if you haven't already.
--Watch a WWII movie or documentary(or read a book on WWII).
--I will allow CWI/USH students to add their own current event stories they would like to discuss on the forum. Since I can't grade anything, all personal comments will not count towards your official froum post count during this time. I think it's important to keep up with the events of the world.
--Feel free to take advantage of the extra credit opportunities I allow for(30 point max per quarter). I officially can't accept extra credit during the break, but you can stockpile them for when you come back. And if we don't come back, keep it for next year in US/World History/CWI(if you have me).

I think that it was definitely the right move on Nixon's part to resign as president before the impeachment was carried out. I do not understand why Nixon taped the conversations about things linking to watergate since it could be used as crucial evidence. The video did say something about Nixon taping his conversations because he wanted them for his memoirs, but I just do not understand why he thought it was a good idea to tape the conversations linking him to this huge scandal.
I agree 100%. If you know you are being recorded, why discuss things that are illegal??
Thanks for your comment!
