APA: WWII Test

Good afternoon everyone!  I hope everyone had a great time at Relay for Life!  Yesterday we analyzed and debated whether the atomic bomb should have been used against Japan during World War II.  Furthermore, we analyzed the development of the bomb.  Please remember that your test is on Thursday.  We will not have a study day for the test.  I have handed out the study guide, but you are not required to hand it in.  However, I do encourage you to complete it for our test.

Also, if you have not done so already, please hand in your research paper and submit it into turnitin.com.  I will be grading these papers over the Spring Break.  Please email me if you have any questions.  Have a great time at Teen Arts!
