November 3

I gave you some more time to complete your Cold War Events booklets, by giving you about 30 minutes to work with the Cold War and After books. I gave you some notes on the Korean War and the Cuban Missile Crisis, and at the end of class you had some time to read them over. I showed you a video from the BBC 20th Century History series on the Cuban Missile Crisis called "Mr. Kennedy and Khrushchev". Please remember that your Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions are due on Tuesday.

I went through part of a PowerPoint presentation from the Genocide Watch website called "The Eight Stages of Genocide", and as I was going through it you were to take notes on the lecture. You can find a link to the Genocide Watch website under Social 20-1 Links if you are interested in looking at the entire PowerPoint lecture again. We started watching a CNN Special called "Scream Bloody Murder" that covers genocide in the 20th and 21st centuries. As you are watching this video you are strongly encouraged to take notes on these examples of genocide.

I did a quick homework check on the material from the History of the 20th Century textbook and the analysis of the editorial cartoon that illustrated the responsibility of WWI. You spent most of the period working on your IA in the library.
