April 18


We started our presentations on American Presidents today. Over the course of the next couple of weeks, we'll be hearing presentations on the administrations of LBJ to Bill Clinton. I think that the bar was set at a really nice level today with the Lyndon B. Johnson presentation. Please post your videos and presentations on the IB 30/35 wiki on the American Presidents pageHere is the schedule for the remaining presentations: 


  • Richard Nixon is on Tuesday, April 19th (tomorrow)
  • Jimmy Carter is on Thursday, April 21st
  • Ronald Reagan is on Tuesday, April 26th
  • George H.W. Bush is on Thursday, April 28th
  • Bill Clinton is on Thursday (April 28th) and Friday (April 29th)




You wrote your Unit 2 Final Exam. I have marked these exams and posted the results on D2L. ou also got your Unit 2 WRA I back today. We'll be continuing on with Unit 3 material tomorrow.


I went over the Cold War in broad strokes today. Make sure that you read, highlight, and annotate the readings in your Social 30-1 workbook on the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Vietnam War. Your Vietnam War Assignment is due tomorrow for homework check marks. One week from tomorrow you'll be writing your Chapter 7 Test (Cold War Exam). I'll post the study guide tomorrow on the blog. I want you to re-read the section on McCarthyism in your textbook and read the movie review of "Good Night, and Good Luck". We're starting this film study tomorrow.
