This week, we will be covering the rest of the first unit - how nationalism can lead to nation-building. So far, we have discussed and looked at what are the foundations of nations - the six different types of nations that we covered the first week of class. Then, we looked at how loyalty to different parts of your identity can create conflict in a country and how countries deal with that conflict. We also examined the different factors that lead to the development of nationalism within a nation. This will all be compiled this week as we look at how it all combines together to build actual countries. The countries we will be looking at are Italy, Germany and Canada.
Just a few reminders - You have a Unit I, multiple choice test THIS FRIDAY. 25 - 30 questions. Please start studying. Click on the link for study tips. As well, your Projects on nationalism are due NEXT MONDAY. If you haven't started, you really need to! Lastly, the good copies of your writing assignments will be due next week as well. It will really help you out if you have completed your rough drafts to write your finished copy. As you are writing your good copy, re-read/re-listen to the feedback you got to know what to fix. As well, re-read the exemplars. Where would you score yourself in comparison to them? S? PF? E? Try to aim for the PF or E level :)What does this week have in store?
