December 14

We talked briefly about causes of WWII today before we watched a video from the BBC 20th Century History series called "Why Appeasement?" You also got the results back for your Market and Mixed Economy Exam. Please take some time this weekend to prepare for the debate that we're having on Tuesday. Remember that we agree with the following proposition: This house believes that government intervention in the economy is necessary.
We finished watching "Blood Diamond" today. The "Blood Diamond" film study is due on Monday. Also on Monday we will be starting our Model UN conference on child soldiers. Please make sure that you have read the background guide that I have sent to you already. Please do some additional research this weekend. I will be taking in your research notes on Tuesday.
The entire period was spent addressing the IA. We went through the PowerPoint presentation on the IA as well. You selected your IA topic as well today. I think most of the topics are very good and with a little guidance you should be able to find resources to help get you through the IA. You;re writing a Paper 2 on the Dictatorships unit on Tuesday.
