October 7


Most of today's class was spent playing a simulation of a fictitious WWI peace conference to try and prevent the outbreak of the great War. In this simulation, the "cards are stacked against you" since you have to adopt the foreign policy decisions that the major powers were locked into. We'll look at responsibility for the war tomorrow, as well as start looking at the results of WWI. You'll get the results of your Unit 1 WRA I back tomorrow. You won't get your results for your Chapter 3-4 Test until after the long weekend (on Tuesday, October 12th). Here are some maps to help you with your World War I Map Assignment that is due on Tuesday, October 12th.






I started a PowerPoint presentation lecture on "The Evolution of Modern Liberalism". I will finish this presentation tomorrow. I also gave you a handout of case studies of mixed economies from the Ideologies textbook. Please remember that your Ideological Reaction to Industrialization Test is on Tuesday, please see the study guide here.

hello Mr. Gilchrist, i was wondering if we had to label the names of the countries horizontally. I also was wondering if we could extend an arrow from a country and the label is within another country. Sorry, i haven't made a map in a long time. Thank you

Yes, please label them horizontally. Yes, you can use arrows as you described.

Hey Mr. Gilchrist, just wondering if we're allowed to scan this and then do it completely digitally?... I just find it easier. Thanks!

You mean scan the black and white copy of the map that I gave you in class? If find that that is easier for you, then I would say it's okay.
