May 25


I gave you back your Cold War booklets and map assignments today in class. I gave you a homework check credit for the booklet, but there were some problems with the maps so I went over them with you in class. We then watched a documentary on the Vietnam War for the remainder of the period, we will finish this video in class on Monday. Have a good weekend!


I gave you a pop quiz at the start of class, and then we went through some of the questions that you sent to me on Wednesday night. Please make sure that you study this weekend for your Rights and Responsibilities Unit Final, which is on Monday. Please come and see me on either Monday or Tuesday in tutorial with help on your in-class position paper. Please remember that your last in-class position paper will be held on Wednesday, May 30th in the Blenheim Room. Have a good weekend!

Hi, sorry for the late response, I've been out of the house all day. Yes, there was one presentation on the internment of the Japanese-Canadians, which I should have sent to you already. If you don't have this presentation, send me an e-mail and I will gladly send it off to you. We also did a Jeopardy review game with this unit, which you should also have.

mr. g
what kind of arguements can we use if we are defending the position that basic rights of canadian citizens should never be suspended.

Please come see me in tutorial time, it's too hard for me to do this over the blog. Brainstorm your arguments and bring them in when you come to tutorial. Thanks!

Good to hear. The odds are pretty low that you'll get me next year. I have only one Social 20 class, and it's in the first semester.

Mr. Gilchrist, do we need to know ALL the rights for the test tomorrow? Like the CCRF rights

Know the big categories cold, for example democratic rights, legal rights, fundamental freedoms, mobility rights (these are examples of what I mean by "big categories").

No, not necessarily.

Basically, with the WMA the government had sweeping powers. They could pass "orders in council" that didn't need to be debated at any length. Orders in council were basically ideas of the PM and Cabinet put into action, and most of the actions taken against the Japanese-Canadians were passed by orders in council. Does this help?
