November 23

You spent all of today's period writing your Paper 1 on Prescribed Subject 1. Next week, we'll start transitioning into economics in preparing for our examination of the Great Depression. These next few topics that we'll cover in IB History are useful for your IB exam in May 2013 as well as your Social Studies 30-1 Diploma Exam in June. You'll have a quiz on Prescribed Subject 1 next week, on Wednesday to be exact. This quiz will have a matching format and source analysis.

We watched "Globalisation is Good" for most of today's period. As you watched this film you were to take notes in the film study booklet. This is your last weekend to work on your TNC Dossier Project since the project is due on Wednesday, November 28th, so make sure that you find some time to get together with your partner to work on this project. I also did a homework check on your Chapter 13 Key Terms and Questions.

You wrote a current events quiz today at the beginning of class. I finished my "American Expansionism" PowerPoint lecture today, and I will be posting it on the wiki in a matter of days. I assigned the following homework from the History of the Americas textbook:
  • Read pages 95-101
  • Answer questions 1-3 on page 103 on Sources A to E
We'll continue with the Mexican-American War on Monday. You will be writing a Paper 3 on Friday, November 30th, so I will also go through the expectations of a Paper 3 in class next week.
