I gave you a handout today on residential schools in Canada as part of the CBC News in Review segment that we watched in class today. If you didn't finish doing the activity with the timeline of events related to the residential school system, I strongly urge you to do so tonight. You were to complete a series of questions during the video as well. I gave you the Unit 3 Worksheet as well today. You have to complete the Chapter 10 Key Terms for Wednesday's class. Please remember that your Unit 2 Part A In-Class Writing Assignment is tomorrow, please review key themes that I have been emphasizing from Chapters 8 and 9. I also collected your Imperialism Research Projects today.

Here are some excellent links to the residential school system from the CBC Archives:

• A Lost Heritage: Canada's Residential Schools
• A Long-Awaited Apology

Social 20-1

We watched the opening sequence of "Saving Private Ryan" so you could see what the D-Day invasions of Normandy were like. Remember that once the Allies established a foothold in northern France the Nazis were fighting WWII on three fronts: in the east against the Soviet Union, from the south through Italy (the D-Day invasions occurred a couple of days after the fall of Rome), and finally through northern France. Once the Allies had established themselves in France, the end of the war was in sight. By May of 1945 the war was over in Europe, while it raged on until August 1945 in the Pacific. I gave you some more readings and maps that covered the remainder of the war in Europe and in the Pacific. These readings are your responsibility, they contain massive amounts of information that is all testable material. In the next few days we'll be looking at the liberation of the concentration camps at the end of WWII and the path the led to the "Final Solution" and ultimately the Holocaust.
