May 29


I went over the Social Studies 10 Final Exam blueprint today with you. This should have given you lots of hints and tips for the final exam. Hopefully, you took notes. I have uploaded the video/screencast of the blueprint via "YouSendIt", so please check your inboxes for a hyperlink to this video. I also sent you a list of key terms/concepts that you NEED to know for the final exam, please make sure that you print this off and use it to study. Please remember that you will be writing your final in-class essay tomorrow in the Blenheim room, so please go there directly.


Today was a very short class due to the graduation ceremonies rehearsal. I gave you some notes on how the Cold War was fought, and I talked about the nuclear arms race.

Um I'm kinda having problems with finding examples defending that the government shouldn't be able to suspend peoples rights besides the Japanese internment camps and the conscription crisis in WWI. Please help!

Mr. G, what would be a good specific example for people being descriminated with the use of the WMA?

Anyone know which group of people were striped of their rights in the WW1?

To reply to the above comment. The answer is many people of European decent, but mainly Ukrainians that emigrated to Canadian from places conquered by Austria-Hungary.

You shouldn't need to register for anything to download it, or least that's what I thought.

Hmmm, that seems a little bit weird. Don't print it off, let me see if I have a different version at home or at school tomorrow.

-----------------
The obvious examples are in WWI people were deemed "enemy aliens" just because they were from an multi-ethnic empire like the Austro-Hungarian empire, and didn't necessarily have allegiance to it. Also, the Japanese-Canadians were singled out based on their race.

That's right.

Mr.G I have an account that everyone can use for yousendit, since it requires registration. This way no one will have to go through the registration process. Do you want me to post it?

Yah that would be great so that we don't all have to register. Thanks!

Mr.Gilchrist, is it okay to have reoccurances of examples for different arguments?

I don't think you have to do that. Please check your inboxes, I sent another hyperlink that should bypass all of that (I hope).

---------------------
Maybe. I'd have to see this to understnad what what exactly it is that you're getting at. If you're using the use of the WMA in WWI, WWII, and FLQ crisis you might have some repetition. But once again, I'd have to see it for myself.

Mr.Gilchrist I believe the link still does not work, according to the site it states that files larger than 20mb will require registration. Too bad the file is just over 20mb.

Really? That's too bad. I guess you have to be creative and make up fake names and e-mail addresses, which shouldn't be too hard to do.
