October 24


We finished watching "Where the Spirit Lives" today in class and then you wrote a short quiz on the film for the last 15 minutes of class. Please remember that your Imperialism Research Project is due on Monday, this is your last weekend to work with your partner. Also, on Tuesday, October 28th you will write your Unit 2 Part A In-Class Writing Assignment. Review material from Chapters 8 and 9, and the key themes that we've covered from those chapters.


Most of today's class was spent watching the film "Blitzkrieg to the Bomb". I gave you some summary notes on this film, you MUST read these notes, it will help you to understand the course of the Second World War.

I'm having a hard time finding the modern day effects of colonization on my country. Do you have any advice for finding it?

Remember those presentations that I did on the legacies of historical globalization on former colonies? Some of those ideas would be applicable. For example, is the former colonizer's language an official language? Did they inherit any institutions from the colonizer? Was the colonized country's industrialization or development stunted because of imperialist/colonialist practices? I hope this helps. This is merely a starting point.
