We finished off the "Making Peace" activity from your course books, and we went over the answers. I gave you some time to read over the next couple of pages in your course books on the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles. I then showed you a video from the BBC 20th Century History series called "Make Germany Pay" which reviewed the Paris Peace Conference, the key players at the conference, what their national interests were, and German reparations after the war. Next week, we'll be looking at the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis in Germany, and the reaction of other European states and the League of Nations to increasing German aggression and violation of the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. It would probably be wise to read over pages 127-134 in your course books to get a preview of the Interwar Years.

Social 30-1

You wrote the Ideological Reaction to Industrialization Test today. I will be posting the results on PowerSchool after school today. I'm going to be talking to some of you next week about switching from Social 30-1 to 30-2 because it's a necessary conversation that we need to have before Spring Break because we'll be expected to submit paperwork to switch you over to 30-2 closer to the term switch over.

If you wanted to find a copy of this PowerPoint, you can find it on the Social 20-1 wiki, under Unit 2 Presentations, and in your Social 20-1 study booklets (pages 107-115). I would highly recommend you to read over Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points (simplified English, and the actual speech that he delivered to the U.S. Congress that he delivered in January 1918). You can find the readings on the Fourteen Points in your Social 20-1 study booklets. I also gave you some small group time to complete the activity "Making Peace" from your study booklets. We went over the answers in class. On Wednesday, March 18th you'll be writing another three source analysis assignment on Unit 2 material. Please make sure that you come and see me during tutorial next week about your Unit 1 WRA I assignments.
