I hope that you read Chapter 7 prior to today's class. If you haven't read it yet, please do so tonight. I delivered a PowerPoint presentation today called "The Origins of the Cold War", which I have already sent to you. I also sent today's other handouts by e-mail as well, make sure you read these handouts. I know that I gave them out at the end of the period, but they are important. The handout that covers the WWII conferences and agreements is especially valuable in my opinion. I would like you to go to the World War II Behind Closed Doors website tonight, and read the sections on the Yalta Conference and the Potsdam Conference. This is an excellent site, with tons of information, maps, video clips, timelines and archival footage and re-enactments as well. You do need to really make sure that you understand the Yalta Agreements and the Potsdam Declaration (among other things) and this is a great site to do this. Episode 3 is the one that contains most of the information that you would need to read and watch. There's a great little video clip on this website called "Stalin's Distrust of the West" that might help you see WWII from the Soviet perspective and why the Soviets might wish to extend control over Eastern Europe and be so distrustful of their wartime allies. You can find this video clip in Episode 3 (Dividing the World), scroll down and click on the video clip on the right called "Stalin's Distrust of the West". It's a short little clip, but you'll get the idea. We'll continue our look at the Cold War tomorrow.

We started a film study of "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee", which we may finish tomorrow, but in all likelihood, we'll finish on Friday. We're watching this film to see how the American government dealt with one particular group of American Indians, in this case the Sioux. You do have a couple of homework assignments tonight: please complete the Chapter 8 Key Terms and Questions from your Unit 2 Worksheet, and please print off the "Legacies of Historical Globalization in Canada" PowerPoint presentation (4-6 slides per page). You have your Chapter 7 Test on Monday, October 19th, please see the study here (scroll down to find it). Don't forget to get some work done on your Imperialism Research Project as well (this is due on Friday, October 23rd). Please check your e-mail for instructions on how to access the Gale e-books that are available in our school library (in library, reference only) and online (anytime). These e-books are an excellent source of information, particularly for this project.

I went through a very quick PowerPoint presentation on economic models explained by cows at the beginning of class. I then wrote out some quick notes on the board of the Soviet leaders from Lenin to Gorbachev and what concepts you should associate with each of them. I gave you some readings today, including "Gorbachev to Collapse" and "Economic Planning in the USSR" (the questions in this booklet are due tomorrow), as well as a short reading booklet on Gorbachev's economic reforms (perestroika) and Deng Xiao Ping's economic reforms ("four modernizations" and "building socialism with Chinese characteristics"), which constitute examples of market socialism. As always, there was a list of advantages and disadvantages of market socialism, when a command economy moves towards a mixed economy, and introduces these economic reforms. Please remember that you have your Economic Systems Exam tomorrow, please see the study guide here (scroll down to find it, it's long, so copy and paste it into MS Word, and print it off). I gave you back the results of your Market Economy and Mixed Economy Test today, and there were some outstanding results. Don't get overconfident, no one got 100% on that test, so there's always room for improvement. Make sure that you have a strong grasp of all of the economic systems that we've looked at.

I went through a PowerPoint presentation today called "The Legacies of Historical Globalization in Canada". I will be sending this presentation to you by e-mail, so please make sure that you print it off (4-6 slides per page) and add it to your notes. I also did a homework check to see if you printed off your "Legacies of Historical Globalization" PowerPoint presentations. You don't have school until Wednesday, so I would use this time to work on your Imperialism Research Projects. Don't feel the need to jump into building a PowerPoint presentation or a Prezi right away, you should use this time to get the research completed. I really urge you to use some online collaborative tools, such as Google Docs, so you don't have to meet face-to-face with your partner (if you have a partner) if you have a busy weekend planned. You will have your Chapter 7 Test on Monday, October 19th.
