October 23

I went through a quick set of notes that is already up on the wiki called "If WWI Were a Barfight". Your Emergence of the Americas (1900-1914) Quiz has been moved to Thursday. I assigned groups for quick presentations on American and Canadian involvement in the First World War. In small groups you'll have to do 5 minute presentations on one of the following battles:
  • Cantigny
  • Chateau-Thierry
  • Belleau Wood
  • Second Battle of the Marne
  • St. Miniel
  • Meuse-Argonne
  • Second Battle of Ypres
  • St. Eloi
  • Battle of the Somme
  • Courcelette
  • Vimy Ridge
  • Hill 70
  • Passchendaele
  • The 100 Days
These presentations will happen in class on Thursday. The audience members will have to make retrieval charts of the information that you share in your presentation. Make sure that you cover the date when the battle happened, who the participants were (commanders), description of the battle, and the significance of the battle.
We covered a lot of ground today. I introduced the 19th century political spectrum to you. As you can see the origins of our reference to "left wing" and "right wing" stems from terminology used during the French Revolution and afterwards. We'll talk more about the Congress of Vienna in the days to come, so you'll understand the reactionary point of view a bit better then. You watched an A & E Biography on Napoleon today called "Napoleon Bonaparte: The Glory of France". As you watched this video, you were supposed to take notes. I'll be talking more about the Napoleonic Age tomorrow in class. Hopefully we'll reach the Congress of Vienna too.
You wrote your Chapter 7 Test today, which took the entire period. We'll begin looking at the residential school system tomorrow, so it's probably a good idea to read Chapter 9 before tomorrow's class. Your Chapter 9 Key Terms and Questions are due on Thursday. Your Imperialism Research Project is due on Monday, October 29th and you'll also be doing a Unit 2 WRA I on the 29th as well. Your Unit 2 Final Exam is on October 30th, please see the study guide below.

This final exam is entirely multiple choice format. There are 57 multiple choice questions. This Unit 2 Final Exam will be on Tuesday, October 30th. Please make sure that you study your key terms from Unit 2 (Chapters 6-9), as well as the three PowerPoint presentations from this unit:
