We finished watching "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" today in class. If you missed today's class, you will be excused from writing the quiz that went along with the film. I gave you back the results of the Chapter 7 Quiz today as well. If you missed class today, I'll try to find time tomorrow to show you the results of this quiz. Please remember that your Imperialism Research Project is due tomorrow.

Mr. G,
For the Social 10-1 Imperialism project there is a section for "Motives for Colonization". Is it likely for a country to be colonized without appearant social motives? If so will skipping that particular part result in loss of marks?
Is it okay if my timeline was a little bigger than the written parts and that it doesn't fit in the duotang that I put everything else in?

-------------------------
Sometimes colonies were colonized purely for economic reasons, but remember that social reasons would include the desire of Europeans to spread Christianity, so investigate this motive for your country. If you skipped this then you won't lose marks, unless I know for a fact that spreading Christianity was a motive of colonization for your country.

---------------------
Yes, that's fine.
Mr. G for the time line, does the major events have happen during just the imperialism colonization, or the entire history all the way from the beginning?

--------------------------
It's probably a good idea to start in the imperialism era. Some of these countries have an incredibly long written history and you could get bogged down in history otherwise (Egypt would be a great example of this, with thousands of years of recorded history). Start in around the time that Europeans would start interacting with the indigenous peoples, and finish off in present day, there are things that have happened in these countries since independence.
