Comparative Civilizations 12 

We are working on the last package before the next unit test, which I anticipate will be next Wednesday, November 21 -- though we may introduce the next unit on Tuesday.

Romance & Reality Package. 

 The mark breakdown is as follows: 10 slide identification items (2 marks each), requiring you to name the work and say what city it can be found in - give the country for 1/2 a mark; Church Floorplan and nave elevation parts identification (1 mark each), 40 multiple choice questions (1 mark each); 2 from a choice of 3 illustration interpretation questions (6 marks each). The total value of the test is, therefore, 82 marks. This unit test covers everything from Islamic Civilization to the end of the Gothic Age.

History 12 

We are some way off from our next unit test.  Information about it will be posted when we are closer.

Topic #4 Plan. Note that the plan is slightly off already -- having been prepared a week before we started the new unit. Tentatively the end date for the unit remains the same. This will be re-evaluated in a couple of weeks.

Topic #4 Questions.

 If you get the chance, watch Apocalypse; The Second World War, an excellent set of 45 minute documentaries on WWII (part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6).  The series contains quite a lot of colour and colourised footage.

  • Monday, November 12 - Remembrance Day Holiday.
  • Tuesday, November 13 - World War II chronology (PowerPoint, base notes).
  • Wednesday, November 14 - World War II chronology (PowerPoint, base notes). We will also look at one of the Twentieth Century History episodes -- probably The Road to Berlin, which looks at the Eastern Front.  If you have two hours, watch this interesting documentary, Teacher Resource: World War II; The Eastern Front, which brings together bits and pieces of many documentaries and films about the eastern front.
  • Thursday, November 15 - Video: Twentieth Century History; Pearl Harbour to Hiroshima if available. World War II chronology (PowerPoint, base notes).  Interested in the Pacific war -- from an American perspective?  Watch War in the Pacific, an 8 episode (45 minutes each) documentary series (part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7, part 8).
  • Friday, November 16 - Probably complete World War II chronology (PowerPoint, base notes). Hopefully, begin World War II; the British Experience (base notes).

Your next unit test is still a little way off -- likely more than two weeks.  It will cover the interwar years and World War II.  I'll likely begin posting test information next week.
