April 3


I continued my lecture on the French Revolution, which I should be able to finish off tomorrow. We started a documentary from the History Channel today called "The French Revolution". We'll try to finish off the documentary tomorrow as well. Be prepared for a current events quiz tomorrow. Please remember that Part A and Part C of your IA is due tomorrow.



I started a PowerPoint lecture called "The Legacies of Historical Globalization in Canada" today, which I'll finish off tomorrow. I gave you some time to work on your Chapter 8 Key Terms and Questions (or your Chapter 9 work). Your Chapter 8 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow. I did a homework check on "Tools of Exploitation" today. I gave back your Chapter 7 work today. Please remember that your Chapter 7 Test is on Monday, April 7th.
