I collected your Political Cartoon Analysis Assignments at the beginning of class. Most of you handed it in on time, and were rewarded with a homework check stamp. If you didn't hand it in today, please make sure that you hand it in ASAP. You lose 10% each day that an assignment is late.
I had some handouts for you today, one on "Dictatorship and the Individual" (I told you to put a star on this page, because I think that it will be really useful). I also gave you a comparison sheet on Mussolini and Hitler. Lastly, I gave you an assignment that is due tomorrow called "Dictatorships: Rule by Elites" that many of you were able to finish during the class time provided.

I collected your Chapter 17 definitions and questions at the end of class today. I also delivered a presentation on the Canadian Identity. This is the third presentation, and the last one the Canadian Identity that you will be receiving from me. I will send out this lecture today, so please let me know if you don't receive it. Please print it off for homework check credit tomorrow. We also watched a bit of Rick Mercer's "Talking to Americans", which we will finish tomorrow.
