April 28


I showed you a video from the United States History series that covered U.S. Politics from 1980 to 2000 (the Reagan to the Clinton administrations). While you watched the video, you should have taken notes. I talked a little bit about the 2000 U.S. Presidential election today as well. We're getting into Social 30-1 material tomorrow when we start talking about illiberalism and the USA PATRIOT Act.

I showed you a video today called "Life + Debt", which is a good case study of Jamaica's increasing foreign debt, and impacts of economic policies from the IMF, the World Bank, the WTO, and the Inter-American Development Bank. We looked at the impact on the Jamaican produce industry, the dairy industry, the banana industry and the impact of the "free zones". We'll Please remember that your WTO charts are due tomorrow, and your Chapter 11 Questions are due on Wednesday.


We finished off the War of 1812 documentary today and then you wrote your Unit 6 Quiz afterwards. Your War of 1812 Website Assignment is due tomorrow.
