Class Updates: 5/21/13 and 5/22/13

Yesterday (5/21/13) and today (5/22/13) we worked on worksheets about the Monroe Doctrine and Roosevelt Corollary. The Monroe Doctrine was a policy of the United that said any efforts by European nations to colonize land or interfere with states in North or South America would be viewed as acts of aggression. The Roosevelt Corollary states that the United States will become involved in conflicts between European Nations and Latin American countries to enforce claims of the European powers. Instead of having the Europeans press their claims directly.  We examined each part peace by peace, found key words, and summarized it in our own words. We then put everyone’s summary of each section of the document together.
