October 19


We watched an A & E Biography episode "The Fatal Attraction of Adolf Hitler", which took most of the period. I also touched upon the Munich Conference, appeasement, the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, the Italian invasion of Abyssinia, the Spanish Civil War, the Great Depression (1929-1939), and the outbreak of WWII. On Friday we'll be looking at appeasement and the failure of the League of Nations to stop the outbreak of the Second World War. Please make sure that you have read, highlight and annotated the notes on the Interwar Years in your Social 20-1 workbook.


We finished off the History Channel documentary on "The French Revolution". Hopefully you took great notes on this video. I gave you the French Revolution DBA Assignment today, and it is due one week from today (Wednesday, October 26th). I also went through how to write a WRA I three source analysis assignment. You're writing a WRA I on the French Revolution on Friday, October 21st. This means that your current events quiz has been moved to Tuesday, October 24th (we're going to the library to work on the IA on Monday).
