November 29

We watched a video today called "Make Germany Pay" from the BBC 20th Century History series. As you watched this video you had to complete answers to the questions on a video study sheet. We also started to look at enforcement of the Paris Peace Conference treaties and tomorrow we will look at the three main disarmament conferences that occurred in the Inter-War Years. Your homework assignment tonight centers around the Treaty of Rapallo. Please complete the Source-Based Questions on page 39 in your 20th Century World History textbook.

We covered the electoral college system and looked at past U.S. elections today. I also gave you your U.S.-Canada Government Comparison Chart assignment. This is due next Tuesday (one week from today). We also had a class discussion centered around questions such as: should voting be mandatory? Should the voting age be lowered? Should everyone over 18 be allowed to vote? Is the first past the post (FPTP) system democratic? I also did a homework check on your Chapter 10 Key Terms and Questions.

Your Unit 2 Dossier Assignment was due today. You received your Unit 2 Essay Questions Sheet today. You will be writing this essay in class on Thursday. Please see the quote below, and the essay question as well. I also gave you time to work on your Chapter 9 Key Terms and Questions. Please see the study guide for your Unit 2 Final Exam here.
