IB 30/35

I showed you a short documentary from the Discovery Channel called "Escape from Berlin" which detailed the construction of the Berlin Wall. We then did a review of how to write a WRA I, and I gave you a sample Social 30-1 WRA I from the Great Depression. Please remember that you're writing a Social 30-1 WRA I on the Cold War tomorrow.

Social 30-1

You wrote your Ideological Reaction to Industrialization Test today. You will get the results of this test back tomorrow. You'll also find out what your overall mark is in Social 30-1 to this point in the semester. The deadline to switch from Social 30-1 to 30-2 is March 17th. Your parents need to sign the form, so if you're switching, you need to take these forms home soon.

Social 10-1

We were able to do an activity based around the story "The Rabbits". This book addresses some of the themes that we'll be looking at Unit 2, such as cultural contact, assimilation, imperialism, differing world views, and residential schools. We spent a fair bit of time looking at the symbolism in the book and some of the themes that the book introduces. Please read Chapter 7 tonight.
