Social 20-1
Today was a shorter period due to the Remembrance Day ceremony, but we started watching CNN Presents "Scream Bloody Murder". We'll finish this video on Monday. Over this weekend, you should be working on your Unit 2 Research Projects. This project is due on Tuesday, November 23rd. Here is a link to CNN Presents: Scream Bloody Murder (this video is on YouTube, but it's split into 14 parts! You can check it out here.) Here is a profile of Romeo Dallaire as well: In-Depth Profile of Romeo Dallaire from CBC News. We'll be looking at the Rwandan Genocide next week, so it might help get an idea of the man at the center of UN mission in Rwanda.

Today was a very short 50 minute period. We looked briefly at disarmament talks during the Cold War. I put notes up on the board on bilateral and multilateral agreements aimed at disarmament. If you missed class today, you need to get these notes from a classmate. We also looked at the end of the Cold War era and global trends since the end of the Cold War. Here is the link to the Chapter 7 Test Study Guide (it's on Thursday, November 18th) and a link to the Unit 2 Final Exam (which is on Tuesday, November 23rd). Also, you have your Unit 2 WRA II (Essay) on Monday, November 29th. I did a homework check on your Vietnam War Assignment today as well. I'm almost forgot to post this video of nuclear bomb testing around the world that I promised in class on Friday, have a look it's only 5 minutes long. It's a bit shocking to see all of these tests! It also only covers 1945 to 1998, and there have been more countries that have joined the "nuclear club" since then.
