May 29


I gave you most of the class period to work on the "Contemporary Issues: The Post Cold War World". Please complete the rest for homework, we'll go over content from this booklet is subsequent classes. Here are some useful links for preparing for your Social 33 Diploma Exam:

I've also added hyperlinks to these PDF documents under Social 33 Links, as permanent links because they are that important!


I did a homework check on Chapter 18 and 19 Key Terms and Questions at the beginning of class. The focus of today's class was on the free trade vs. fair trade issue. We examined this topic by focusing on the "daily grind", in other words, coffee. We looked at the role of Starbucks, and read an article on fair trade in Canada, as well as starting a video called "Black Gold". We'll finish "Black Gold" in class tomorrow. Please make sure that you have completed the questions that go along with the article "The People vs. Starbucks" for homework tonight.
