Social 30-1

We continued our examination of the Cold War. We looked at the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 (the video we watched even covered escape tunnels, and the dismantling of the Berlin Wall and the end of communism, and German re-unification). We also did some reading on the Cuban Missile Crisis, and started watching a video from the BBC 20th Century History series called "Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Khrushchev", which we will finish tomorrow.

Social 10-1

Most of today's class was spent watching "China Rises: Getting Rich" and completing a film study sheet. I talked to a few people about their Imperialism Research Projects (if I talked to you, please send me your projects by e-mail tonight!). I also gave you back your Unit 2 Final Exam test results.
