I forgot to post this yesterday. I hope that you enjoy your long weekend.

IB 30/35

Most of today's class was spent in the Red Lab working with your partner on the Google Doc chart comparing and contrasting the Great Depression in Canada and Latin America. You should have this chart completed by next week. Next Friday you will be writing a Paper 3 on the Great Depression and the Americas. We'll be doing some preparation for that Paper 3 on Tuesday, along with some feedback on the IA.

In your groups you delivered the Google Slides presentations on the party platforms of your assigned political parties, and profiling the candidates running for election in Calgary Nose Hill, Calgary Confederation, and Calgary Rocky Ridge. On Wednesday, October 16th you will be writing the Ideological Reaction to Industrialization Test. This is a multiple choice format test, and it corresponds to material in Chapter 3 and the first half of Chapter 4. Please see the study guide below.

SOCIAL 20-1

We finished looking at the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles today. The mnemonic device that I started teaching you today (GARGLe) is a helpful way to remember the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. We completed the "Making Peace" activity in your Social 20-1 workbooks as well.
