December 5

You handed in your IA rough drafts today. I had a cursory look at them at the end of the day, and there are missing elements in many of the IAs, such as title pages, table of contents, word counts, poor wording of IA essay questions, etc. Also, don't pictures on the cover of your IAs. Remember, we are not marking the IAs at this point, we are simply giving you some feedback on what you have so far. Some of you won't have as much to do to revise your IA over the Winter Break. Some of you will have a lot of work to do because you have taken shortcuts in your analysis of the sources. We will be getting these IAs back to you prior to Winter Break (last week of classes is what we are targeting). We continued looking at the League of Nations today, in particular successes and failures. We will look at some other diplomatic developments in the 1920s tomorrow before we look at the Manchurian Crisis. You will be writing a test this Thursday, that covers the unit The Emergence of the Americas in Global Affairs (this is multiple choice). On the same day you will be writing a Paper 1 on Prescribed Subject 1 material.

You wrote your Unit 2 Final Exam today, and you will get the results back tomorrow. Your Chapter 9 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow.

We watched a short video from the CBC News in Review series on the election in Afghanistan in 2009. This is important information as it pertains to democratization, spreading democracy. Can liberal democratic values be exported? This ties into the main theme for Unit 3, the viability of liberalism. Please check out the important dates below.
