IB 30/35

We watched the film "Blitzkrieg to the Bomb" today, which took most of the period. It should have given you a nice overview of the Interwar Years, the development of extreme nationalist regimes in Italy, Japan and Germany, the type of warfare that characterized fighting in WWII, and the various theatres of war. We'll start to look at specific events within WWII this week. You will get some class time to meet with your TOK Presentation Groups in the second semester.

IB 20

I did a brief introduction to TOK today. We also watched a short excerpt from a video from Harvard University. If you want to watch the rest of the video, you can below.

You split yourselves into groups for your TOK Moral Dilemmas presentations. These presentations will take place on Friday. Tomorrow you will have time to get some background research completed on your IA. We'll meet in the classroom and then we'll go down to the library as a class.

Social 10-1

We talked about global pandemics briefly today, and started a film study of "Contagion". We'll continue it on Thursday. You have Part A of your Final Exam tomorrow in class. You'll have 60 minutes to complete the three source analysis assignment. The Chapter 18 and 19 Key Terms and Questions are due on Thursday.
