We finished off the "Evolution of Modern Liberalism" lecture today. There are a couple of slides that you should probably print off as single pages because they are hard to read otherwise. Tomorrow, you are presenting in your small groups about 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. One week from today you are 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.

We started looking at the Allied victory in WWI and the subsequent Paris Peace Conference today. We'll continue looking at the Treaty of Versailles tomorrow. The mnemonic device that I started teaching you today (GARGLe) is a helpful way to remember the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. We'll look at specific terms of the treaties tomorrow and their impacts.
