April 20


You wrote your Paper 3 on the Civil Rights Movement today. I created a Google Doc for the class to work collaboratively to review for the Paper 1. I'll  create similar Google Docs for Paper 2 and Paper 3.


I finished off "The Foundations of Economic Globalization" presentation today. I also gave you a booklet on the WTO, the IMF and the World Bank. You were supposed to read all of the articles, highlight and annotate them. One week from today (April 27th), you have a homework assignment due: a chart on the advantages and disadvantages of the WTO.


We finished off the film study of "Good Night and Good Luck". Your film study questions are due tomorrow.

  • make sure that you know all the Cold War Concepts

  • know key events that we've emphasized in class (for example: Berlin Airlift, Korean War, Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam War) plus other key events from the timeline
  • know major arms reduction agreements (bilateral agreements and multilateral agreements), please study the notes that I will give you next week on this topic.
