We finished watching the History Channel documentary called "The French Revolution" today in class. We then started looking at the impact that Napoleon Bonaparte had on France by watching a A & E Biography of Napoleon. As you were watching this video you were to take notes on a timeline of significant events in Napoleon's life. Tomorrow, you have your World Geography Test, please see the study guide here. Also, when we finish this test we'll continue looking at the life of Napoleon. I also collected your Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions at the end of class.

Most of today's class was spent writing your Introduction to Political Systems Test. After the test, I gave you a few handouts on the Canadian political system: the structure of Canadian government, a seating plan for the House of Commons, how a bill becomes law in Canada, and finally, your homework assignment. You are to go to this website to complete the Canadian Government Internet Assignment sheet that I gave you in class. Also, the Canadian section of your Chapter 4 Question booklet is due tomorrow.

I went over in greater detail how to write an effective position paper. I gave you numerous handouts on this, and also had you practice differentiating between arguments and examples. I gave you a handout with three sample essays and how they would be marked in Edmonton in June. We'll look at the other two essays tomorrow in class. Please remember that your Case Study #1 Parliamentary Democracy in Canada (this worksheet has a diamond pattern around the border) is due tomorrow. I took in your Case Studies 2-6 from Ideologies at the beginning of class.
