July 24

I went through a PowerPoint lecture today called "Internationalism and Nationalism" that corresponds to material in Chapter 11 and 12 in your textbook. This presentation has already been loaded on the wiki under Unit 3 Presentations. Next, you had time to work on a foreign policy worksheet that required you to define key concepts associated with foreign policy and internationalism, and provide real-world examples of the concepts. After the break you wrote your Unit 2 Final Exam. You should get the results of this exam back tomorrow. Please remember that you have your Unit 3 Final Exam on Thursday (please see the study guide below). You had some time to work on your Chapter 9 and 10 Key Terms and Questions as well today, these are due tomorrow. Your Chapter 11 and 12 Key Terms and Questions are due on Thursday. Your Unit 3 WRA II Essay will be written tomorrow at the beginning of the day. We'll go down to the library together tomorrow.

This exam consists of 75 multiple choice questions. It will be written on Thursday, July 26th.
