Social 30-1

I did a homework check on your Civil Rights Movement Assignment at the beginning of class. In today's class we focused in on a case study from Canadian history when civil liberties were infringed upon through the use of the War Measures Act. In Social 20-1, you would have looked at the usage of the War Measures Act in WWI and WWII, but we looked at the FLQ Crisis of October 1970. We watched a video and completed a film study from the History's Turning Points series on the FLQ Crisis. In the package I gave you were to also do a document analysis on the October Crisis, and there was also information on the Emergencies Act. Your Chapter 11 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow. Please remember that your Chapter 10 Test is on Friday, here's the study guide. You have your Unit 3 WRA I (3 source analysis) on Thursday.

Social 10-1

I did a PowerPoint presentation on the biofuel controversy today. I will send this presentation to you, so please print it off (4-6 slides per page). We then started watching "Who Killed the Electric Car?" We will finish this film tomorrow. You have your Unit 3 Final Exam on Monday (December 14th), here is your study guide. You also have your Unit 3 WRA I (3 source analysis) on Friday (you won't have time to do group brainstorming).
