December 3


I went through a lecture on German Expansion from 1938-1940. You can find these Google Slides on the IB 30/35 wiki on the Prescribed Subject 3 page.

For homework, you should read pages 156-178 in The Move to Global War textbook.

You should also create a chart like the one below to take notes on key pacts and agreements that took place in the road to World War II.  






You wrote the Chapter 7-8 Test today. Hopefully, I will be able to get results back to you soon. I gave you back your Unit 2 WRA I today. Please remember that the Unit 2 Final Exam on Monday, December 9th (please see the study guide below).

I went through the Rights Notes in your Social 30-1 course books, we also started talking about the usage of the War Measures Act (only to be used in times of war, invasion, and insurrection), the case study of the internment of Japanese-Canadians in WWII. You should this PowerPoint off and highlight key parts of the lecture. Tomorrow, we'll be looking at the FLQ Crisis in greater detail, and the concept of illiberalism as well.
