You wrote your first in-class position paper today in the Blenheim Room. If you were absent today and did not have an excused absence you will receive a mark of zero on this essay. Tomorrow we will be playing a review game in class, so it would be wise to do some review tonight. Please remember that your Nationalism Unit Final is on Monday, and your board game project is due the next day.

I went over the format of the Position Paper Outline. I wanted to make sure that everyone knew what was expected of them for this assignment. I didn't have a lot of time this week in tutorial to deal with questions surrounding this outline, so I've changed the due date for it, this outline is now due on Monday. I also assigned the key terms from Chapter 9 in your textbook. Please make sure that you have read both Chapters 8 and 9. Next week, I'll be moving on to the Interwar Years which will directly lead into WWII. Make sure that you're keeping up with the reading!
