Week of March 28th-April 1st

Welcome back from Spring Break! I hope your time away from school was restful and fun!

  • Complete our final project: "What should be the doctrine that defines U.S. foreign policy today?"

We will also spend time discussing the Belgium Terror Attacks with these resources:
