We started an in-depth study of the Rwandan genocide by starting our film study of
"Shake Hands with the Devil". Before we started the film you were to read over the other information in the film study booklet. You should be able to finish this film tomorrow in class.
We finished some of the topics in the Cold War today, by looking at arms reduction talks and agreements, and by discussing trends that have emerged in the post-Cold War world. I also showed you a short YouTube video of all of the atomic tests/explosions since the Trinity test in 1945 to the late 1990s. Please re-read in the textbook the section on the Second Red scare and McCarthyism. Tomorrow, you'll start a film study on
"Good Night, and Good Luck". It might be a good idea to
check out this link on Edward R. Murrow as well.
It is a multiple choice test with 70-75 multiple choice questions.
Please make sure that you have read Chapter 7. Here are some other study tips:
- study "The Origins of the Cold War (ppt)"
- study all notes on the Origins and Causes of the Cold War
- study notes on the Korean War
- study notes on the Cuban Missile Crisis
- study notes on the Vietnam War (see notes package and Vietnam War booklet, and the notes that I sent to you on the Vietnam War)
- make sure that you know all the Cold War Concepts
- know the chronology of events of the Cold War (study the Cold War timeline and the Vietnam War timeline, and the end of the Cold War timeline that I will be giving you in subsequent class)
- know key events that we've emphasized in class (for example: Berlin Airlift, Korean War, Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam War) plus other key events from the timeline
- know major arms reduction agreements (bilateral agreements and multilateral agreements), please study the notes that I will give you next week on this topic.
- know about the formation of alliances (NATO, Warsaw Pact) and the formation of "spheres of influence"
- anything that I gave you as a handout is testable material and should be reviewed!!
- know how the Cold War ends and its results/consequences
We continued our examination of the American role in World War I today, with me finishing off my PowerPoint lecture, and watching a short video on the Great War from an American perspective. Please remember that we are having the presentations on the Canadian and American battles in WWI on Tuesday. Make sure that you add your contributions on the wiki for your assigned battle in WWI by Remembrance Day.
