November 6

We finished watching "Paris 1919" today, which took the entire period. We start looking at the battle to ratify the Treaty of Versailles in the USA tomorrow.
I showed you some videos today on the electoral college system. I also showed you a video with fake campaign ads from the 1800 U.S. election (we'll be talking a little bit about this election next week in the lead-up to the War of 1812). I gave you some class time to get some work completed from the History of the Americas textbook on the Latin American independence movements. This is due tomorrow.
We finished watching "China Rises: Getting Rich" today. I announced who would be participating in Friday's debate as well. Remember, you'll be debating "Be it resolved that the 21st century will belong to China". Here's some more information on China:
