If you missed the start of class today then you missed some notes on Russian history and the lead in to the communist dictatorship of Lenin and Stalin. Please get these notes from a classmate. I also gave you a handout/diagram of the communist party organization which should help you to understand that in the USSR decision-making was very much top-down decision-making, with very few people actually making decisions. I also gave you an activity booklet based on readings out of A History of the Twentieth Century, which is due on Monday. Please remember that your Dictatorship Internet Project is due on Tuesday, and your Dictator Assignment (Parts 1 and 2) is due on Wednesday. You will be having some tests next week: on Tuesday you will have a Dictatorship Unit Final and then on Thursday, you will have a Political Systems Unit Final (which will cover democracies and dictatorships). Here are the big concepts that you should understand for these unit finals:

In the context it was used in the reading it means "to bring home". We needed to bring the Constitution home, to make it an act of Canadian Parliament and not the British Parliament as it had been up until 1982. Now that the Constitution is home in Canada, we can make amendments to it without the permission of the British Parliament. Does that help?
Mr. Gilchrist, for the test tommorow.. do we have to study the symbols like the emblem (diagram)?? and the readings u gave us?

Unfortunately, I forgot to return the reading booklet on Friday. However, you don't need to study from it for the test, the questions from the reading booklet are both very visual, and you should be fine. It's a good idea to go over the "Symbols of Canadian Identity" worksheet for a few minutes, there is a question or two on the test from this worksheet.
OK thanks. Also the reading on Canadian Peacekeeping Involments are with you so how do we study for that?
Mr. G for the test do we have to learn things like the Suez Canal crisis, Foriegn relations etc. Because it does not say so in the Study Guide?

There's a map in your textbook and a reading to go with it.

For now, know that the Suez Canal Crisis was the first peacekeeping operation, and where the Suez Canal is located.
Mr gilchrist: on the study guide you gave us, where can i find
3. Canadian Identity and Culture
4. Features of Canadian Identity
5. Canada's Evolving Identity (History)
also the freed trade agreement you still have it with you, where can i study from.
then the involvement in the united nations and peacekeeping activities where is that?
Hey the readings starting from page 299 in the Canada A Nation Unfolding help with the peace keeping activities of Canada. FTA and NAFTA can be found starting on page 356. Ans isn't the rest a part of the first power point presentation?
