You should have handed in your Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions for homework check marks at the beginning of class today. We went through the "8 Stages of Genocide" presentation. There is a Google Slides version of this lecture on the Social 20-1 wiki on the Unit 2 Presentations page. We started the documentary "Scream Bloody Murder" today as well.

Social 10-1

I did a homework check on your WTO charts today at the start of class. I gave you a short reading entitled, "Dilemmas of Global Trade". In each of the short scenarios that were presented you had to take a position on the question raised by the scenario, and then we did a 4 four corners debate on the issues raised by the dilemmas.  Please come to class tomorrow ready to ask any questions that you might have about "Challenges and Opportunities of Economic Globalization". You should print this PowerPoint off (it's on the wiki under Unit 3 Presentations), highlight it, and annotate with your questions. Your Chapter 12 Key Terms and Questions are due on Friday (April 28th), so I gave you about 25-30 minutes to get started on this work.

I talked about the "8 Stages of Genocide" today, and we started watching the CNN documentary "Scream Bloody Murder", which covered major genocides of the 20th and 21st century. We'll finish off this documentary tomorrow.
