September 26


I showed you a couple of excerpts from the CBC News in review video series today. The first one was on the 20th anniversary of the FLQ Crisis of 1970. The second video was on the 1995 Quebec Referendum. I gave you the remainder of the time to work on collecting information for your French-English Relations Timeline Assignment. Please note the changes to the following upcoming important dates.

  • Region Brochures Project is due on Friday, September 29th (note the change in the due date)
  • French-English Relations Quiz (fill in the blank) is on Thursday, September 28th (study using the PowerPoint notes)
  • Regionalism Unit Final (multiple choice) is on Monday, October 2nd
  • French-English Relations Timeline is due on Tuesday, October 10th

Today I gave you some homework assignments. The first assignment was to try and place the following groups in Revolutionary France onto a political spectrum: the King, Jacobins, Aristocracy, the Church, Girondins, Reform Clergy, and the Middle Class. We will be discussing this in class tomorrow, and I will be expanding upon this political spectrum to a 19th century political spectrum (this will be helpful in Social 30). Additionally, I gave you two Word Search puzzles to complete for tomorrow. These puzzles (if attempted without the textbook as much as possible) are a good review of some of the causes and key events of the French Revolution. They are due tomorrow. I also gave you a reading entitled "the Terror". Please read this article, highlight and make notes to yourself. It goes into greater detail than the textbook on the topic of the Reign of Terror. I also showed you a short video on the French Revolution from the series "History Bites" (hopefully you got the jokes).

  • French Revolution Word Search Puzzles are due tomorrow (September 27th)
  • Revolutionary Political Spectrum is due tomorrow
  • Read "The Terror" for tomorrow
  • the French Revolution Quiz is on Monday, October 2nd

What kind of reference is it? Maybe I can help you further if you let me know the type of source.

There may be some dates/date references (for example, 1867: Confederation or 1982: new Constitution)so it's not bad to study them, especially if I mention them in the PowerPoint presentation. Study from that PowerPoint!!

Interesting problem. So when you do your Google image search you're given a gallery of pictures. If you're unable to open the image from the website where it's supposedly hosted, then I don't think that you can use it. You have to have a URL as a minimum in order to cite it. You can't have Google's URL as part of your citation.

for the regionalsim brochure, does the chart have to be one that is already made or could you compile various information that you cite into one chart/graph that you made yourself.
