Today was a busy day since we started working on the Cold War Events booklet by using Perspectives on Ideology and the Cold War and After booklets. You will get some class time tomorrow to work on these booklets as well. We watched a video from the History's Turning Points series on the Korean War and another video on the construction of the Berlin Wall. We'll continue our historical progression through the Cold War by examining the Cuban Missile Crisis tomorrow. Please remember that your Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions are due on Tuesday.

IB 30

We had a brief discussion on current events, namely Palestine's inclusion in UNESCO and the Israeli government's reaction to this, the Greek referendum issue, and current developments in the Occupy Calgary situation. We then switched gears and finished watching the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand episode of the BBC series "Days That Shook the World". We then continued looking at the techniques and practices of the First World War, specifically trench warfare. We'll continue this topic on Friday. Please come to Room 111 tomorrow, then we'll go down to the library to work on your IA, so make sure that you have your Internal Assessment materials. Tonight's homework is the following:

• Read pages 204-215 in the 20th Century World History textbook
