I collected your Chapter 14 Booklets at the beginning of class for homework check marks. I wrote some notes on the board about the expansion of economic globalization, so if you missed class today, you'll have to get these notes from a classmate. I showed you a short excerpt video from an episode of the CBC show called "The Hour" (hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos, actually I just wanted to type that name out once). The excerpt that I showed you was an interview of Jeff Rubin, former chief economist for CIBC, where he was talking about the end of cheap oil and the end of globalization as we know it. We watched a bit of the documentary film "Food, Inc.". You can watch the rest of the film here: Documentary Heaven: Food, Inc.

After the break, I went through a PowerPoint presentation called "Quality of Life, Human Rights, Democratization" which I have sent to your e-mail accounts. I gave you time to work on your Chapter 15 Booklets, which are due tomorrow.

Upcoming Important Dates:

• Chapter 15 Booklets are due tomorrow

There will also be a multiple choice section to this test (25 multiple choice questions), and a written component as well. The written component will require you to analyze two sources, and identify key concepts reflected in the sources. Please review the following key concepts from Unit 3:

I collected your Chapter 13 Booklet at the beginning of class for homework check marks. I showed you a short video called "The Impacts of Globalization" today, and while you watched the video you were to complete a film study sheet. This video introduces you to the differences between economic growth and economic development, the poverty cycle, and the Human Development Index (HDI), as well as the benefits and problems with joining the EU by looking at the case study of Ireland. After that I gave you an article on electronic waste and China, and the links that Canada has to the illegal trade of electronic waste to China. We also watched a short video to accompany this reading from CBC News in Review. I gave you about 50 minutes of class time before the break to work on your Chapter 14 Booklet (this will be due tomorrow). After the break, we watched "Who Killed the Electric Car?" and completed a film study to go along with the film.

Upcoming Important Dates:
