November 12


We finished watching "The Corporation" today in class. You drew lots today as well to pick a TNC that you will be profiling in the major Unit 3 project. We'll be looking at this assignment in greater detail tomorrow, and I will show you some excellent examples of finalized projects from former students. Please remember that you have your Chapter 10-11 Test on Tuesday, please see the study guide here.




We started looking at the film "Good Night, and Good Luck" today in class. This film explores McCarthyism in the early 1950s. The film study that I provided you with also has a film review, and some study questions and some discussion questions. This film definitely has relevance in today's world (which we'll be talking about more tomorrow and in Unit 3 of the course). We'll finish off the film tomorrow, and be able to have a short discussion period of some of the issues the film raises. In all likelihood, the study questions from the film study will be due on Monday. Please remember that you have your Chapter 7 Exam (Cold War period) on Monday, November 16th and your Unit 2 Final Exam on Thursday, November 19th. Please see the study guides for both exams here.
