History 12

This unit is global in scope -- far more than previous units. I will tend to focus on one region or issue at a time, which will mean that we will jump around more in time order. We did a bit of this in the last unit, but expect far more from now on. It is, therefore, essential that you find a way to make sure that you get the chronology right. I strongly suggest that you create a time line, with years on one axis and a series of columns, labelled Europe, Asia, North America, and South America on the other axis. Put major events on this timeline in the appropriate location and time. This will help you see events graphically -- recognizing how they might influence other events, elsewhere in the world, in the Cold War era.

The good news is that there will be no more unit tests. I do not wish to lose further blocks to testing -- though there will be an in-class essay in early January. Topic 5 & 6 material will, however, be strongly present on the Provincial Final Exam.

The breakdown of marks for Tuesday's test is as follows: 70 multiple choice questions (1 mark each), 5 map items - countries (1 mark each), and two long answer questions from a choice of three, valued at 12 marks each (2 x 6 each). The total is therefore out of 99 marks.

• Monday, November 26 - Complete material on the war-time conferences (base notes) and begin the Introduction to the Cold War (base notes). Be sure to read Lecture 14 "The Origins of the Cold War" from The History Guide. Listen to a BBC programme on the defeat of Japan. See Churchill's "Iron Curtain Speech on Google video.

• Wednesday, November 28 - Complete Origins of the Cold War (base notes). The Chinese Revolution (base notes). If you have time, check out the PBS Documentary China; A Century of Revolution (Note: The link is only to the first segment.)

The test on provincial and municipal government is an overnight take-home test. Because this is open-book and open for outside research, much more is expected of long-answer resoponses than would be the case on an in-class, closed book test.

Be sure to indicate the sources of any statistics or quotations. Do not copy, word-for-word, the words of others. Plagiarism will result in a zero grade on this test!

Mark breakdown for the test is as follows: Part 1 involves 24 fill-in-the-blanks items (names or other information). Each of these is worth 1/2 a mark, for a total of 12 marks.
