This short week:

You will have history only once this week. Arrive with your homework completed:
- read and complete the table on the back: "Continuing growth," 1914-1929 (2nd phase, WWI, recession, "Roaring Twenties")
- map: identify regions associated with either the 1st or 2nd phase; use the readings to locate the towns and regions in which raw materials were exploited

For the Easter break, you will receive a booklet. I have printed notes that refer to the Great Depression, WWII and the boom period after the war (1945-1960). Read pp. 206-213. Complete the two pages regarding the Depression in the booklet.

End of British period, beginning of Canadian

I'm sure many of you are desperately trying to figure out what to do with your snow day. Well, you can tell your parents that you really really can't shovel the drive-way, as you have history to study and work on...

Group 06 (Orange):
-many of you did not do the work I assigned to you for last Thursday, which was then re-assigned to you on Thursday in my absence... Sadly, it still wasn't completed yesterday, when it was due - most of you need to complete the back of the booklet. Read the corresponding textbook pages (186-187) and answer the questions. Using the documents and reading, you are expected to explain the benefits and the results of Reciprocity on United Canada.
-I gave you till today to hand it in; owing to this snow day, you have the time to answer the questions well. I will accept them tomorrow morning, before noon.

Should you want to get a jump on tomorrow's class:
-work on the handouts that pertain to the 1st and 2nd phases of the industrialisation period after Confederation (blue & purple sheets);
-read the textbook: 1st phase (pp. 190-199) and the 2nd phase (pp.200-205)

Group 08 (secondary 5):
-work on the handouts (blue and purple) that I gave to you in class last Friday pertaining to the 1st and 2nd phases of the industrialisation period after Confederation (blue & purple sheet);
-read the textbook: 1st phase (pp. 190-199) and the 2nd phase (pp.200-205)

Group 01 (Red):
-in the unlikely event that you brought home your textbook, read pp. 190-205. This will help you get ahead.
-start working on the handouts (blue, purple, that I gave to you last Friday).

Group 02 (Blue):
-your homework for today was to complete the work about the Reciprocity Treaty on the back of the pink booklet.
-If you come to see me tomorrow, I will give you the handouts that you would have rec'd this morning. If you are interested in "getting ahead" read the textbook, pp. 190-205.

Enjoy your day. Don't watch the soaps.
