We finished off the
WWI presentations today, focusing mainly on Canadian involvement in the war. After showing you a short video on the
Battle of Vimy Ridge, I showed a video from the U.S. History Series called "The Great War". This video gave you a preview of the
Paris Peace Conference (our Prescribed Subject 1) and some domestic issues facing the United States in the 1920s: amendments to the U.S. Constitution (women's suffrage, prohibition), nativism, and the red scare. Tomorrow we'll start looking at the
role of Canada and Latin American countries on the First World War.
Please remember that your IA is due tomorrow! You wrote your
Unit 2 WRA I today. At the conclusion of this in-class writing assignment I showed you a video from CBC News in Review on the residential school system.Please remember that you have your
Unit 2 Final Exam tomorrow,
please see the study guide here.
We started our examination of the
Haitian Revolution today. I delivered a PowerPoint lecture which provided you with some basic information on the revolution (I'll post this on the wiki). You're going to learn more about the Haitian Revolution in the days to come, it is an important case study for us as you can use on a potential
Paper 3 essay question if it asks you to compare and contrast two revolutions from your region of study (you'd do the American Revolution and the Haitian Revolution). I also assigned you reading booklets on the Haitian Revolution as well today. Please remember that you have your
Unit 5 Test on the French Revolution and Napoleonic Age on
Wednesday,
please see the study guide here.
