To the groups that have presented already: please post your videos and Google Slides on the IB 30/35 wiki on the American Presidents page in the appropriate row on the chart. You will be writing your Paper 3 on the Civil Rights Movement tomorrow. You'll get 5 minutes to pick your question and do a quick outline for it, and 50 minutes to write. When you write your actual Paper 3 exam next month, you will have to write three essays in 150 minutes.

Social 30-1

I went through "The End of the Cold War" notes in the Social 30-1 workbook today. Then we back-tracked and started a film study of "Good Night, and Good Luck". You are responsible for answering the study questions from the film study. I also did a homework check on your Vietnam War Assignment today. One week from today, you'll be writing your Chapter 7 Test on the Cold War, please see the study guide below.

It is a multiple choice test with 70-75 multiple choice questions (although about 11-13 questions will be dropped). Please make sure that you have read Chapter 7. Here are some other study tips:
