1. Using your textbook read about Richard Nixon and the Watergate Scandal. You will have to use your index to locate the pages in your book. (Look up Watergate; if not there look up Nixon and then Watergate).
2. Now watch this video that gives an overview of the Watergate Scandal. Please back it up if there are points you don't understand.
3. Create a new Google document (titled "Watergate") and define the following terms/people that deal with the Watergate Scandal. Make sure you note the significance of each person-- not just their job. Please note that some of these terms/people may not be in your textbook. If that is the case use the web and/or the video to define them (in your own words!).
