I showed you an excerpt from the movie "Pearl Harbor" today. I also started talking about the internment of Japanese-Canadians (you need to go through the rest of the PowerPoint tonight). You have homework due on Thursday, October 27th, you must answer the questions for analysis with the Way of Subjects reading in your Social 20-1 workbooks.

2. Look at what I have emphasized in class (causes of WWI, nature of WWI, armistice, Paris Peace Conference, Treaty of Versailles, the Interwar Years, rise of ultranationalism in Germany, Italy and Japan): this will be the emphasis of the test, there are several topics in your textbook Chapters 5-6 that WILL NOT be on this test, especially if it is event that occurs AFTER the events listed above (so things like Canada's role in Afghanistan, and Arctic sovereignty won't be on the test) 

3. Focus your review on the following big concepts:

• MAIN Causes of World War I
• the nature of World War I (trench warfare, stalemate, total war)

• the Treaty of Versailles (terms of the Treaty of Versailles: GARGLe)
• Hitler's violation of the Treaty of Versailles (chronology; order of events that violated the terms of the Treaty of Versailles)

IB 20 HOTA

I showed you the A & E Biography of Napoleon Bonaparte today, and while you watched the video you should have taken notes on the blank timeline that I gave to you.  I finished off the Napoleonic Age PowerPoint lecture today, by starting at  the Congress of Vienna slide. I collected  your French Revolution DBA Assignment. Please check your e-mail, I've shared with you a Google Doc study guide link for Friday's Current Events Quiz #5. One week from tomorrow you'll be writing the French Revolution and Napoleonic Age Test, I'll post the study guide tomorrow.
