November 27


You wrote your in-class position papers in the Blenheim room today. I also collected your Elections Canada assignments.

  • Political Cartoon Interpretation Assignment is due on Wednesday, November 29th
  • Politics and Government Unit Final is on Wednesday, November 29th


I started Topic B of Social 20 today in class. We discussed the major themes of Topic B, as well as specifically examining the key concepts of diversity and disparity. Here is a interesting website that reduces the population of world down to a village of 100 (which is similar to what we did in class), it's called Miniature Earth and it further illustrates the diversity in the world. You might also find this video for Sarah McLachlan's song "World on Fire", which helps to illustrate the disparity in the world today. Also, here's a hyperlink to "Spread the Net", which is trying to prevent malaria by buying mosquito nets and sending them to Africa.

Here's the presentation/lecture that I did today in class:



  • WWI Unit Final is on Wednesday, November 29th
  • WWI In-Class Position Paper is on Thursday, November 30th
  • WWI Dossier Project is due on Monday, December 4th

Hey Mr. Gilchrist,
AL again from SS20-3... could you clarify for me who replaced Adm von Essen? Was it Adm Kolchak, or ViceAdm Kanin, because I've got several sources saying different things x.x
Thanks.
