IB 20

After writing a couple of tests this morning, I gave you a reading that had five different documents related to the Battle of Lexington. We'll talk about this document analysis activity next week. We started a film study on "The Patriot" today, which we will hopefully be able to finish.

IB 30/35

We did our last TOK group presentation today. As you know, the group looked at the War of 1812. I mentioned that I had read an article yesterday from the Los Angeles Times on the different perceptions of the War of 1812 and the planned celebrations to mark the bicentennial on both sides of the border. Here is a link to that article on the War of 1812. Also, with the L.A. Times there's an article here that covers "7 Things You Didn't Know About Dr. Seuss". (I thought it was timely given the TOK presentation we had on the Arts)

You also wrote a quiz on the Cold War, and watched a video from the BBC 20th Century History series called "Cold War Confrontation".
