SS11-Feb. 17

We were a whirlwind of info. today!!  We ended WWI-finally!  However, THAT means, summative assessment time.....we took a class vote and you voted for an 'assessment in the test format'....crazy......
SO I gave you the 'long answer'/multi-paragraph question options to take home to ponder.  **Look at the website by Saturday, I will post PowerPoints/Exercises if you need!  Also, for your viewing pleasure, check out these clips on the 'End of War'
Part1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YJfOZkriyk

Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-7YCcZUXmw

Choose one:

1)Discuss the ways in which Canada, as a nation, matured as a result of the First World War
2)Explain the factors which made the First World War different from previous wars, and as a result, became known as the first modern war.

**You will be required to provide a brainstorm/outline (pre-plan) for your answer, you may bring it in with you if you wish on Monday.  Once you are finished the multi-paragraph answer, we will do the rest of the test.

Due dates:

-Cue Cards for Ch.2 (you would think that completing these would GREATLY enhance your chance of success on the test, so......but if you don't complete them-Tuesday, Feb.21)

-Portfolio-this is an ongoing process and should be 'worked on' whenever you have a free moment in class.  Your first one will likely be due the beginning of March (before Spring Break).
