Found it relevant and worth a smile: Shortest History of World

THE WACK WORLD WAR

Hey guuys,

So today in class, we discussed the homework questions, read the textbook from page 46 until we reached the subtitle 'Technology'. We also watched a short video which went a bit more in depth about the history of the First World War. 

Your homework today is to read from 'Technology' and 'USA' up until page 55; no review questions are due! As well, at the close of the chapter, there will be a timeline due consisting of the dates 1914 - 1918, as detailed as possible. 

Lastly, we set our Chapter 2 test for next Thursday, the 20th! 

FUN FACT: Beyoncé's favourite ice cream flavour is butter pecan! (just in case you were wondering!) 

Thanks everybody, stay frosty!

Good evening history twelve.
Today we went over the sexism quotes we found yesterday, and finished reading through chapter one in class.

The homework for tonight is the Focus Questions on page five, pertaining to the chapter.

Today we talked about injustices, specifically women's suffrage, that cause individuals and groups in society to stand against the state and have that freedom to demand change if it impedes on a person's 'life, health, liberty or possessions.'

"We are nothere to ask for a reform or gift but a right - not mercy, but for justice." (Nellie McClung)

In addition, we discussed the relationship between the state and society and the obligations we are both called to uphold and honour. Even though as grade 12 students we are underage and politics seem almost irrelevant, I challenge you to consider some aspects of the state that do have a direct impact on us as the younger members of society. How can we demonstrate essential goodness that is characteristic of humans in our 'natural condition?'

Homework status for tonight:
- finish chapter reading from page 12-14
- answer the question posed in regards to figure 1.6 on page 10 in your textbook
- go to everydaysexism.com and find a quote that is shockingly blatant and be ready to present it to the class
