Did any of the results from these quizzes surprise you? We talked a little bit about the election process. I have sent you an assignment on elections in Canada that you will have to go to Elections Canada to find the answers. There is a hyperlink on this blog to Elections Canada's website, please look for it under "Social 10 Links". I also handed out your next major project, which is based on our Government unit.

-----------------------
Gibraltar can be labelled as the Strait of Gibraltar or just Gibraltar. It really doesn't matter to me. Gibraltar is sort of an outcropping from the rest of Spain, but it is a British held territory. It shares about 1.2 km land border with Spain, and Gibraltar has about 12 km of coast line itself, so it's very small, but important. It's a naval base for the British. Spain ceded Gibraltar to the British in the 1700s in perpetuity, but Spain wants it back, but most Gibraltarians don't want to be transferred back to being a Spanish possession. If you're still not sure where Gibraltar is, then check the map at the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibraltar
Hey Mr. Gilchrist,
AL from Social 20-3; would talking about David Lloyd George and Henry Asquith be relevant in Naval Warfare? Should I include a blurb about them and leave it at that, or are they important enough to say, form an artifact on the info?
Thanks.
