November 24

We covered different electoral systems from around the world today, and the division between federal and provincial governments in Canada. I gave you the Chapter 10 Worksheet, the Chapter 10 Key Terms and Questions will be due on Tuesday. Tomorrow, we should be able to have some time to work in small groups brainstorming arguments and evidence for the Unit 2 WRA II Essay that you will be writing on Monday.

You wrote your Chapter 7-8 Test today. You will be writing the Unit 2 WRA I tomorrow, review content from Chapters 7-8 only.

We finished looking at the fight to pass the Treaty of Versailles in the United States. Keep in mind there were two main groups of Republicans that  lead the opposition to the passage of the treaty, the "reservationists" led by Henry Cabot Lodge, and the "irreconcilables". I will be posting the PowerPoint presentation on the wiki today along with some very detailed notes on World War I that I highly recommend you have a look at. I will post both of these items in Peacemaking, Peacekeeping, International Relations section of the wiki. Tomorrow, you will be writing a Paper 2 during class time. You will be given three different essay questions to choose from, and you must choose one and answer that essay question. I have posted the Paper 2 Markbands on the wiki and you were given a handout on advice for writing the Paper 2 yesterday. The essay questions will focus on the outbreak of the war, and not on the end of the war or the Paris Peace Conference.
