I started a PowerPoint lecture today called "Historical Globalization and Imperialism". I'll finish this lecture off tomorrow. So far we've talked about key concepts of Unit 2, such as historical globalization, "old" imperialism (God, gold, and glory) and "new" imperialism. Your Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow.

Here's a copy of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade animated graphic that I showed you in class today, it's pretty sobering.




I showed you a video from the BBC 20th Century History series called "Why Appeasement?", and while you watched this video you were supposed to answer the questions from the film study guide in your Social 20-1 booklets. We also completed the activity called "Was Appeasement a Good Idea?" which had you classify arguments for and against appeasement. I also taught you a new mnemonic device to remember that the League of Nations was a FAILURe. You should also be able to link FAILURe to two key events that led up to World War II, namely the Japanese invasion of Manchuria (1931) and the Italian invasion of Abyssinia (1935).

Both classes finished writing their Unit 1 WRA II Essay today. If you missed class today (there were a couple of you in my Period 4 class), you will need to finish writing this essay tomorrow during class time. One thing I need both classes to improve upon when you do an in-class writing assignment is the following: when I say that there's 5 minutes left and you should be finishing up your essays and printing them off, that is what you should be doing, not continuing to type your essay until the end of class bell goes. We're moving on to Unit 2 material tomorrow. Your Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions are due on Thursday (March 16th).


We looked at national interests at the Paris Peace Conference today by doing an activity from your Social 20-1 booklets called "Making Peace". I also went through Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points. I gave you the rest of class time to read, highlight and take notes on the Interwar Years readings in your booklets. You must have this reading completed to truly understand the content that I'm going through tomorrow.

I was able to finish off the "Allied Victory in WWI and Paris Peace Conference" lecture today in class. Please make sure that you complete the readings from your Social 20-1 study booklets that I mentioned in class: "The Issue of Responsibility" and "Canada's Role in WWI". We'll do an activity tomorrow where you'll look at the Big Three at the Paris Peace Conference (Clemenceau, Wilson, and Lloyd George) and what their foreign policy objectives were.



You had about half of the class today to write the first paragraph for your Unit 1 WRA II Essay. You printed off the essays and were able to get a few rounds of peer editing done back in the classroom. Tomorrow, please go directly to the same computer lab that we were booked into today, and finish writing your essay. For those of you that did not write any notes on your essay question sheet, you have to prepare for this essay tomorrow. The emphasis will be on argumentation and evidence tomorrow.

I showed you a video on the assassination of Franz Ferdinand from the BBC series "Days That Shook the World" today, which I hope that you enjoyed. I started a PowerPoint presentation on "The Allied Victory in WWI and the Paris Peace Conference" which I will continue on Monday. No homework this weekend!


I gave both of my classes a reading  booklet with two readings from the Opposing Viewpoints series, one entitled "Globalization Benefits the World's Cultures" and the other "Globalization Hurts the World's Cultures", these two essays should give you some ideas for your essay planning. In my Period 2 class we went through your source that you have to write your Unit 1 WRA II Essay on Monday. I'm going to post this on the Social 10-1 wiki, and I'll share the page with you so it's easy to find. My Period 4 class completed their course selection for Grade 11 courses. You should probably also check out the page that I'm sharing with all of you.

I gave you a handout today called "the recipe for success" which you are allowed to have out next week when you are writing your Unit 1 WRA II Essay. I also gave you the essay question sheet. I'll give you two readings tomorrow which are from the Opposing viewpoints series. One of the readings is entitled "Globalization Harms the World's Cultures" and the other is called "Globalization Benefits the World's Cultures", I'm sure that these readings will help you figure out argumentation and evidence. Your Chapter 6 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow.


Today we had a simulated peace conference to try and stop the outbreak of the First World War. The war still broke out! Also, I did a homework check on your Chapter 5 Key Terms and Questions. Tomorrow we'll be watching a video from the BBC series Days That Shook the World on the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
