October 22


I had you move into small groups at the beginning of class today to brainstorm the Causes of World War II. As a class we then built a concept map of the causes of the war. I then gave you a reading with maps that covered blitzkrieg (invasion of Poland), the Phoney War, the miracle of Dunkirk, Operation Barbarossa, and it also quickly mentions the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Please review for your Chapter 5-6 Test, which is tomorrow. Here is the study guide.


We talked as a class about extending the due date for the Imperialism Research Project, which we did, to Monday, October 27th. There should be no late projects now! I gave you a series of readings on the recent apology from the Canadian government to First Nations who experienced the residential school system. Please make sure that you have read Chapter 9 carefully, you need some background knowledge about the residential school system to fully appreciate the film that I will be showing you on Thursday and Friday.
