This week, we will wrap up self-determination by looking at a few contemporary examples of Canada and ISIS and the Scottish referendum. We will finish Unit 2 with Post-World War I and the Interwar Period. We will see how a country's national interest can shape their foreign policy, and therefore affect the global community. We will discuss the Treaty of Versailles, The Great Depression, The League of Nations, and the rise of fascism. This will take us to the end of this unit, meaning that our Unit Exam will be THIS FRIDAY (April 17)!!!!! A reminder that your Instagram accounts are due TONIGHT @ midnight! And that Thursday will be a work day. So if you are feeling overwhelmed about the amount of work you have, be sure to bring it on Thursday so you can work on it, as well as any questions that you have about this unit! Also a heads up, next week we will be moving into unit 3, ultranationalism and supranationalism. We will first be looking into ultranationalism in World War II, more specifically, the Holocaust. In light of this, we will be watching Schindler's List. For those of you who have not seen the movie before, it is rated R, with scenes involving
nudity, swearing, graphic content, and abuse. I will be sending out a note this week, letting your parents know that we will be watching this film. If either one of your parents, or you, do not feel comfortable with you watching this film, please let me know so I can arrange an alternative activity for you. Also, if you choose to watch the movie, but feel uncomfortable during it, please know that you are welcome to leave the classroom at any time and I once again can arrange an alternative activity.
