IB 30/35

Both classes spent time in Room 111 getting feedback on your IA. The good copy of the IA will be due on October 31st. We also started looking at how to write a Paper 3 on the Great Depression and the Americas. We'll continue looking at preparing for a Paper 3. You'll be writing the Paper 3 on Friday, October 18th.

Make sure that you have completed the following assignments related to the Great Depression unit before you write your Paper 3 on Friday:

• Challenges to the New Deal (on the IB 30/35 wiki)
• Was the First New Deal a planned programme or simply a series of unrelated measures to deal with specific problems? (pages 98-100)
• New Deal Programs Chart (you worked with a partner on this Google Doc)
• How much impact did the New Deal have on American politics and the economy? (make a note-taking chart, content pages 126-128)
• Great Depression in Canada and Latin America comparison chart
