December 21


Today we watched a video from the "Turning Points of History" series on the FLQ Crisis of 1970. I handed out an entire package of notes on this topic, part of which was a video study guide for the video. Also in this package was tonight's homework: read the the first two pages of the booklet, it's called "Analyzing a Document: The October Crisis" and then complete the worksheet that goes along with it.


We had some students do their presentations today in class. We'll have the rest go tomorrow, so if you were absent today, please remember to come to class prepared to make a short presentation on your country. I also assigned the following reading and assignment for homework:

  1. Read pages 259-263, and pages 267-269
  2. Define: acid rain and the greenhouse effect
  3. Answer the following questions:
  • What are the sources and effects of acid rain?
  • Describe the causes and results of the greenhouse effect.
