November 4


I went through a PowerPoint presentation today called "The Expansion of Economic Globalization". I have sent this presentation to you already, so please print it off (4-6 slides per page) and bring it to class tomorrow. I will be doing a homework check on it and the Chapter 11 Key Terms.


We finished off the "Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Khrushchev" video today, and then we started looking at the Vietnam War. I gave you a Southeast Asia package that you were to work on and finish in class. After you finished the Southeast Asia package, you were to get the Vietnam War reading, and then after that Vietnam War assignment (I will be taking this last one in on Monday).

Hey Mr. Gilchrist!
Direct Confrontation, what would be an example of that, and what would be a better definition of confronting something directly.
Also as for collective intervention, what would be a better example:
a) THe UN intervening in Korea
or
b) West Germany flying supplies into East Germany during the Berlin Blockade
