We started Unit 3 material today by looking at an
Internationalism Opinion Survey, and starting a PowerPoint presentation called
"Nations, Nation-States and Internationalism". We will come back to this presentation next week. You have your
Chapter 7-8 Test tomorrow,
please see the study guide here. You are writing your
Unit 2 WRA I on Friday. Please review how to write a three source analysis (WRA I).
We covered a few different key concepts associated with democratic systems today including: federalism/federal systems of government and unitary systems. We also looked at the structure of the Canadian government and what the Canadian federal election of 2011 would have looked like if Canada had a
proportional representation (PR) system. Remember Canada employs a
first past the post (FPTP) system in elections, in other words, you don't need 51% of the popular vote to win a constituency, you just need to get more votes than the second place candidate in the election. I also gave you back the results of the Unit 2 Final Exam today. Please remember that your
Chapter 8 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow.
Most of today's class was spent in the library working on the IA. Your
rough draft of the IA is due on December 5th. We'll continue looking at the Treaty of Versailles by examining the fight to pass the treaty in the United States.
