ESSAY HINTS FOR MY I.B. GREMLINS

Listen up nerds. I have a few hints for essay questions one and two. For essay one think about the basic things that the federal gov't did to prepare the United States for war. Hint-- Selective Service.

Essay two: YOUR ESSAY SHOULD NOT TOUCH ON THE COLD WAR AT HOME!!
The question is about Truman and Eisenhower's foreign policy with the Soviet Union.
Hints: NATO TO SEATO. One more hint: CIA.

That is all. If you would like me to see outlines please e-mail me.

Have a good weekend and give your mother a hug tomorrow.

Vikki,

I would be willing to work with people who missed multiple days due to IB testing. If you feel you need an extra day to prepare for the exam, please let me know.

So I looked up Selective Service in the back of the book cause I don't remember talking about it...
do you mean the Selective Service Act of 1917??

Oh, but I just realized SS = the draft
hahahahhahaha
so should we say that it was created in 1917 then?

Okay cool thanks.

For essay 2, we are talking about anti-communistic things Truman did and we wrote the Truman Doctrine. Should we give examples of containment, like in South Korea?
